Great Britain's Lapthorne clinches first slam singles crown
Great Britain's Andy Lapthorne clinched his first grand slam singles title with a 7-5 6-2 victory against home favourite David Wagner in the US Open men's wheelchair quad final.
Lapthorne's triumph proved to be even sweeter with the win coming against the current world No.1 Wagner.
"For the US Open to be my first Grand Slam singles title is so special because I love this place, the whole city is just great," Lapthorne said.
"I've visualised that match point before and when it happened I couldn't believe it. That's what I've always dreamed of.
"David is a legend of our division, so to beat him makes it all the more special. We always have tough battles as he sets the standard.
"Today was all heart and I felt like I served really well. I kept it consistent rather than big and that was my plan beforehand. My dad told me I always do things two years after Andy Murray and I've done it again with the title here."
