Tokito Oda became the youngest man to win a Wimbledon singles title in any discipline after defeating Alfie Hewett in the men’s wheelchair final on Sunday. The 17-year-old Japanese player won 6-4, 6-2 on No. 1 Court to earn his second straight Grand Slam title after also winning the French Open in June. “I’m still 17, so, I want to open a champagne, but I couldn’t. So I have to drink sparkling water,” Oda said.
