Alfie Hewett has won his first Paralympics gold medal, partnering Gordon Reid to victory in the wheelchair tennis men's doubles.

The Britons defeated Japan's Tokito Oda and Takuya Miki 6-2 6-1 at Roland Garros.

It completes a career 'Golden Slam' for Reid and Hewett in doubles, where they are the dominant force in the men's game.

Despite the scoreline, the first set was extremely competitive, lasting an hour with both pairings having eight break-point opportunities.

However, Hewett and Reid raced through the second, a brilliant Hewett cross-court drop-shot winner sealing victory.

Immediately afterwards, Hewett leaned back and threw his racquet in the air in celebration before he and Reid shared a long embrace.

It is a fifth Paralympics medal for 32-year-old Reid, who defeated Hewett to win singles gold at Rio 2016.

Hewett, who has four medals with a fifth guaranteed, will be across the net from Oda again on Saturday when they meet in the men's singles final.
