De Groot of the Netherlands was looking to win the singles title at all four Grand Slams for the second successive year, and despite dropping the opening set to Yui Kamiji of Japan, she recovered to add another trophy to her collection.

De Groot has now won the singles title at the US Open for the past five years, and doubles titles at the tournament in five of the previous six years, including in 2022 with compatriot Aniek Van Koot.

In this year’s final at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Kamiji took the first set 6-3, as the double US Open wheelchair women’s singles champion threatened to spring a surprise.

De Groot responded in champion style, winning sets two and three by a scoreline of 6-1, to continue a dominant year where she has won all women’s wheelchair singles and doubles titles at all Grand Slams with just one exception.

In this year’s Wimbledon women’s doubles tournament, she lost in the final, alongside Van Koot, to Kamiji and her partner Dana Mathewson of the United States.

In the men’s wheelchair singles final, Britain’s Alfie Hewett won his third US Open singles title as the second seed defeated Shingo Kunieda, ending the Japanese player’s quest to win all four singles Grand Slam titles in a calendar year for the first time.

Hewett triumphed 7-6, 6-1 as he added to his singles titles of 2018 and 2019, as well as his five successive men’s doubles titles at the US Open.

Kunieda was seeking a ninth US Open men’s singles title and third in a row but after being broken while serving for the first set, and subsequently losing it on a tiebreak, fell away in the second to miss out on a chance of a historic triumph.

The quad singles final also pitted the top two seeds together, with Netherlands Niels Vink winning a third Grand Slam singles title of the year, as he beat compatriot Sam Schroder in straight sets.

Top seed Vink triumphed 7-5, 6-3, in the process winning a sixth Grand Slam title of the calendar year - with three coming in singles and three in doubles.
