Alfie Hewett was unable to complete a career ‘Golden Slam’ in singles, failing to convert a gold-medal point as he lost a thrilling Paralympic wheelchair tennis men’s singles final.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old was defeated 6-2 4-6 7-5 by Japan’s Tokito Oda at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n

A sliced drop shot from Hewett floated just wide on match point on Oda’s serve at 5-3 in the final set, while the Briton was then unable to serve out victory.<\/p>\n

The Paralympics singles gold remains the only major title in the sport that Hewett is yet to win.<\/p>\n

Oda, 18, secured victory on his own second match point and lay back on the clay in celebration, pulling the wheels off his chair as he did so.<\/p>\n

Hewett then came around to the other side of the net and picked up a wheel so Oda could reattach it. <\/p>\n

The pair shared a warm embrace while the packed crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier gave both players a long and loud ovation after an outstanding match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
