DUO'S GOLDEN SLAM IS 'STUFF OF DREAMS'

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are names that are little known to tennis fans compared to Novak Djokovic, but on Sept 6 the duo put themselves on a par with the Serb's biggest achievement in the sport.

Hewett finally got his hands on a Paralympic gold medal in Paris and made history to boot, as he and Reid became the first men's wheelchair doubles partnership to complete the career "Golden Slam".

In August, Djokovic became just the fifth player to achieve the feat in singles all four Grand Slams and the Olympic title - after Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf.

British duo Hewett and Reid had lost twice in the Paralympic final before at Tokyo 2020 three years ago and Rio 2016 - but this time they made no mistake.

In front of a packed PhilippeChatrier court at Roland Garros, the site of the French Open, they thrashed Japanese pair Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda 6-2, 6-1.
