- Australian beats teenage Dutch player Niels Vink 7-5, 6-2
- Alcott now holds all four major singles titles and Paralympic gold
Wheelchair tennis star Dylan Alcott has made history by becoming the first man ever to achieve the ‘golden slam’ of all four major singles titles as well as Paralympic gold in the same season with his emphatic win in the quad final at the US Open.
The irrepressible 30-year-old Melburnian top seed was a brilliant winner in his showdown with teenage Dutchman Niels Vink at Flushing Meadows on Sunday, outplaying the youngster 7-5, 6-2 in an hour and a quarter to lift his 15th grand slam singles crown.
