Shingo Kunieda (Japan) won his 22nd Grand Slam wheelchair doubles title at Wimbledon on 9 July 2022, partnering Argentina’s Gustavo Fernández to a 6-3, 6-1 triumph against home favourites Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid. Widely regarded as the greatest-ever men’s wheelchair tennis player, 38-year-old Kunieda had previously won the Australian Open in 2007-11 and 2013-15 (8 titles), the French Open in 2008, 2010-13, 2015-16 and 2019 (8 titles), Wimbledon in 2006 and 2013-14 (3 titles) and the US Open in 2007 and 2014 (2 titles).

As of 10 July 2022, Kunieda had won 50 Grand Slam titles across singles and doubles, with his 28th singles win coming in an epic three-setter (4-6, 7-5, 7-6) against Hewett at Wimbledon on 10 July 2022. Stéphane Houdet (19, in 2007-18) and Gordon Reid (19, in 2015-22) trail Kunieda for the most Grand Slam wheelchair doubles titles won by a man. Kunieda’s 22 doubles titles have been won with Satoshi Saida (3, in 2006-08), Robin Ammerlaan (2, in 2007 and 2009), Maikel Scheffers (2, in 2008 and 2011), Houdet (8, in 2010 and 2013-15), Nicolas Peifer (1, in 2011), Frédéric Cattanéo (1, in 2012), Michaël Jérémiasz (1, in 2013), Gordon Reid (2, in 2015-16), Fernández (2, in 2019 and 2022). Kunieda was born in Chiba, near Tokyo, on 21 February 1984 and was left paralysed in the lower half of his body from the age of nine after the discovery of a tumour growing in his spinal cord.
