British pair Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have won a fourth Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles title, beating the Netherlands' Tom Egberink and Belgium's Joachim Gerard 7-5 6-2.

Hewett, 23, and Reid, 29, took an early lead in both sets, edging a tight first set before a more commanding performance in the second.

The top seeds claimed their 12th Grand Slam title as a pairing.

Hewett said: "To get our fourth title is something we're really happy about."

There was further success for Britain's Jordanne Whiley, partnering Japan's Yui Kamiji in the women's wheelchair doubles, winning a fifth Wimbledon title together, and their 12th as a pairing.

They beat South Africa's Kgothatso Montjane and fellow Briton Lucy Shuker 6-0 7-6 (7-0), dominating in the first set and running away with the second-set tie-break.

Whiley said: "It's such a special tournament for both of us. I know it's difficult because there's two Brits and you want us both to win."

Australian Dylan Alcott sealed a second Wimbledon quad wheelchair singles title with a 6-2 6-2 win over Sam Schroder of the Netherlands.
