Oda wins Wimbledon men's wheelchair title

WIMBLEDON, England -- Japan's 17-year-old Tokito Oda won his first Wimbledon wheelchair title on Sunday, becoming the youngest man to win the tournament in any discipline.

Oda, the world No. 1, beat second-seeded Alfie Hewett of Great Britain 6-4, 6-2 to win his second straight Grand Slam title.

By winning the French Open wheelchair singles last month, Oda became the youngest man to win a Grand Slam in any discipline. His 6-1, 6-4 victory over Hewett in Paris also gave him the top ranking in the world.
