The top-seeded 19-year-old won 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 in a 2-hour, 16-minute final against the second-seeded host nation favorite at the All England Club.

It was Oda’s sixth Grand Slam title. The left-hander won his third French Open championship in early June.

After Hewett held his serve in the opening game of the third set, Oda raised his level to reel off five straight games in the match that ended with a backhand forced error by the 27-year-old Briton.
