Britain's Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid won a sixth successive Australian Open wheelchair doubles title while Andy Lapthorne triumphed in the quad doubles final.

Top seeds Hewett and Reid defeated Spain's Daniel Caverzaschi and Frenchman Stephane Houdet 6-2 6-4 at Melbourne Park.

It is their 22nd Grand Slam title as a partnership.

Lapthorne and Dutchman Sam Schroder won the quad wheelchair doubles with a 6-1 6-4 victory against the top seeds, Niels Vink of the Netherlands and Israel's Guy Sasson.

Lapthorne, 34, has now won eight doubles titles in Melbourne.

A huge West Ham fan, Lapthorne said he had received messages from players in the build-up to his final and hoped to be back in the UK in time to watch them play at Aston Villa on Sunday.

"My flight, I think, is at 11pm tomorrow. If I'm not delayed, then I'll get straight in a car and drive up to Villa Park," he said.

"If not, hopefully I've got the week off and maybe go to the training ground and show the trophy off, meet some of the boys.

"I had some messages from [West Ham right-back] Vladimir Coufal last night, which was really nice.

"He just WhatsApped me saying he's watching and good luck. They've been amazing to me.

"It's just really nice to have the support of the fans of the club and the people within the club. It drives me on."
