After taking out the first Wimbledon
quad wheelchair singles final at against
28-year-old British player Andy
Lapthorne 6-0, 6-2, Alcott, whose win
was his ninth major singles win, has
had reason to celebrate.
“This one means [a lot]. Wimbledon
... this is the Holy Grail of tennis, isn’t it?”
Alcott, 28, who recently won a Logie
award for Outstanding Newcomer on
television, said. “I think the Wimbledon
trophy, we’ll be ditching the Logie.” •Australia’s
