Japan's Tokito Oda defeated Great Britain's Alfie Hewett in the final, 6–2, 4-6, 7-5 to win the gold medal in men's singles wheelchair tennis at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. At the age of 18 years and 123 days, Oda became the youngest player to win Paralympic men's singles gold medal, overtaking previous record-holder Ricky Molier of the Netherlands, who was 20 years and 70 days in 1996 in Atlanta.[2]
Japan's Shingo Kunieda was the defending gold medalist, but he did not participate in this edition as he retired from wheelchair tennis in January 2023.[4]
