Hewett Triumphs in All-British Showdown in Wimbledon First Round.

Alfie Hewett, a two-time Wimbledon wheelchair singles finalist, began his 2024 campaign on a positive note by defeating fellow Briton Ben Bartram in the first round.

Alfie Hewett, aged 26 and a two-time finalist at Wimbledon wheelchair singles in both 2022 and 2023, secured a solid 6-1, 6-4 victory over his 18-year-old opponent, Ben Bartram.

Bartram started strong in his Wimbledon debut, breaking Hewett's serve in the first game. However, Hewett rallied, winning six consecutive games to take the opening set. 

In the second set, Hewett quickly broke Bartram's serve and secured another break in the fifth game, capitalizing on errors from Bartram's sliced backhand.
