  "account": "British wheelchair tennis players Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid secured their sixth US Open doubles championship at Flushing Meadows, defeating Spain's Martin de la Puente and Netherlands' Ruben Spaargaren 2-6, 6-3, 10-7 in a close match tie-break. This marks the 30th Grand Slam doubles title for Reid, who has won 11 of them since the start of his partnership with Hewett five years ago. Hewett, 28, expressed his excitement and motivation for winning the title again, stating, \"We've not won here for five years so this is something we've been desperate for and highly motivated for. It won't be the last, we've got plenty more doubles to play in the future.\" Reid, 34, added, \"It's been more than 13 years we've been playing together and he's not sick of me yet. Hopefully we've got a few more years left in us.\" The title seemed distant at the beginning, with Hewett and Reid losing six games in a row after taking an early 2-0 lead. However, they came back strong, winning four consecutive games to force a 10-point match tie-break, which they won to claim their third major doubles title of 2026.",
