Kate Middleton sends personal message after British duo win Wimbledon Doubles title
The Princess of Wales congratulates Alfie Hewitt and Gordon Reid after they beat Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez and Japan's Tokito Oda
Kate Middleton congratulated Alfie Hewitt and Gordon Reid after the pair won the Gentlemen's Wheelchair Doubles title at Wimbledon
“What a wonderful achievement, Alfie and Gordon! Huge congratulations to you both, an extraordinary partnership and another very special moment at Wimbledon. You continue to inspire so many,” said Catherine, the Princess of Wales, in a message signed with her initial C on social media.
BBC reported that the British pair won their seventh Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles title as a partnership.
They beat Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez and Japan's Tokito Oda.
Fernandez and Oda broke Hewett and Reid in all four of their service games during the first set, but the Britons responded superbly by winning nine of the next 10 games.
That run gave Hewett and Reid a 3-0 lead in the deciding set and they saw out victory in a high-quality final to clinch their 25th Grand Slam doubles title as a duo.
