AUSTRALIAN OPEN BRITAIN'S HEWETT FOLLOWS UP DOUBLES GLORY WITH SINGLES TRIUMPH IN LATEST REMARKABLE FEAT.

Britain's Alfie Hewett followed up his doubles glory with a stunning singles triumph as he defeated third seed Tokito Oda in straight sets in the final on Saturday at the Australian Open.

The top seed wasted no time in doubling up on the trophies front at Melbourne Park as he overcame Oda in straight sets, 6-3 6-1, in just 69 minutes to go one better than the previous two years.

Having lost in the last two finals, Hewett was utterly determined to succeed this time round and he never looked like losing in a pretty one-sided match on Margaret Court Arena.

This latest Grand Slam triumph followed Hewett and Reid taking the doubles title on Friday with a 6-1 6-2 victory over Dutch duo Maikel Scheffers and Ruben Spaargaren.
