Lexus GB men’s team secured their fourth BNP Paribas World Team Cup title since 2015 with a thrilling 2-0 victory over Spain in Turkey. Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid were the heroes of the day, winning both singles matches to claim the title.
Reid, ranked World No 5, defeated Daniel Caverzaschi 6-3, 6-4 in a hard-fought battle, while Hewett, ranked World No 1, staged a remarkable comeback to beat Martin de la Puente 2-6, 6-4, 6-1.
