The 16-year-old Japanese rising star took an early 3-1 but Hewett fought back to win five games in a row to claim the first set. This victory comes just one day after Hewett lifted his 16th doubles title at a major tournament alongside compatriot Gordon Reid. Hewett, who finished runner up in the 20 Australian Open finals, has now won seven Grand Slam titles. It's been a week to remember for World No.1 Alfie Hewett who finally lifts his maiden Australian Open men's wheelchair singles title after defeating Tokito Oda of Japan 6-3, 6-1.
