Youngest winner of the Wimbledon Wheelchair Gentlemen's Singles title

The youngest winner of the Wimbledon Wheelchair Gentlemen's Singles title is Tokito Oda (Japan, b. 8 May 2006) who was 17 years 69 days old when he won the 2023 edition, in London, United Kingdom, on 16 July 2023.

Teenage sensation Tokito Oda (Japan, b. 8 May 2006) won the wheelchair singles at Wimbledon on 16 July 2023 when he was 17 years 69 days old. Oda’s second consecutive Grand Slam title was secured with a 6–4, 6–2 victory over Alfie Hewett on No.1 Court.

Oda is the youngest-ever male winner of a singles title at Wimbledon (all disciplines, excluding juniors, beating Boris Becker’s 17 years 227 days in 1985), and the youngest singles champion at SW19 in any discipline since Martina Hingis (b. 30 September 1980) lifted the ladies’ trophy on 5 July 1997 at the age of 16 years 278 days.

In wheelchair tennis, the UK’s Gordon Reid (b. 2 October 1991) was 24 when he won Wimbledon’s inaugural wheelchair singles event in 2016, and in quad singles (first held at Wimbledon in 2019), Dutchman Niels Vink (b. 6 December 2002) won the Wimbledon title at the age of 20 years 222 days in 2023. Before Oda’s emergence, the youngest-ever male wheelchair singles or quad singles champions at any of the four Grand Slams were two players who share a birthday: Alfie Hewett (b. 6 December 1997; French Open wheelchair singles winner in 2017, aged 19 years 186 days) and the aforementioned Vink (French Open quad singles winner in 2022, aged 19 years 180 days).

Oda, Vink and Hewett are the only three male teenagers to win a title since wheelchair singles (Australian Open, 2002) and quad singles (US Open, 2007) were first introduced at the Slams.
