PARIS – Japan’s Tokito Oda won his third consecutive French Open wheelchair tennis singles title Saturday, defeating Britain’s Alfie Hewett 6-4, 7-6(6).

Earlier in the day, Japanese compatriot Yui Kamiji claimed her fifth wheelchair singles title and first in five years with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Aniek van Koot of the Netherlands.

Kamiji added the singles championship to the doubles crown she won Friday with South Africa’s Kgothatso Montjane.

In the men’s final, Hewett took the second set into a tiebreak after trailing 5-3 and 6-5. He saved three match points in the process, but the 19-year-old Japanese star prevailed in the end.
