After a week to remember both on and off court, Shingo Kunieda and Satoshi Saida can return home to Japan happy.

The pair claimed French Open glory in Paris last weekend and then flew to London to take part in the Wimbledon wheelchair doubles event.

In their first tournament on grass, they emerged victorious over defending champions Jayant Mistry of Britain and Frenchman Michael Jeremiasz.

In front of a packed Court Three, the Japanese pair, who won Paralympic gold in Athens in 2004, claimed a 7-5 6-2 triumph.

It brings their tournament victories together to six this year but Saida, who is ranked number one in the world for doubles, admitted it was one of their hardest-fought successes.

. . . "Because we had never played on grass before this week it has been a bit difficult for us to adapt our game," he told BBC Sport.

"It is much harder to push your chair around the court on grass and our tactics rely a lot on movement. But we have got better the more we have practised this week.

"Wimbledon is such a world-famous tournament and we are delighted to have won here on our first time in London . . . more
