Alcott has been ever present this summer; he’s made headlines after hanging out with American super star Will Smith and fronted a ubiquitous ad campaign for ANZ.

The Aus Open win is Alcott’s fifth Grand Slam singles win overall including the US Open he won in 2015.

He also won the doubles tournament earlier this week.

Alcott also won two gold medals at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in the Men’s Quad Singles and Doubles events.
