The Netherlands retained their men’s title at the Wheelchair Tennis World Team Cup by beating Spain in the final in Vilamoura.
The final was a repeat of 2021 when the Dutch emerged as 2-0 winners.
A repeat was on the cards when Ruben Spaargaren earned a 6-3, 6-2 win over Daniel Caverzaschi in the opening singles match.
The Netherlands were able to celebrate victory when Tom Egberink overcame Martin de la Puente 6-1, 6-3.
The result saw The Netherlands secure their eighth men’s title at the tournament.
“I think I played my best tennis this week,” said Egberink.
“It was a really good effort from Ruben.
“He played really well against Dani, so I was more relaxed at 1-0 up.
“We’re really excited to have back-to back titles.”
Australia were crowned junior champions after securing a 2-1 victory over Britain.
Riley Dumsday earned a 6-1, 6-1 win over Joshua Johns to give Australia the lead, before Britain’s Dahnon Ward levelled the contest by winning 6-1, 6-3 against Saalim Naser.

For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to everybody.
insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than 200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.
Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since.
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of independent news on what is happening in world sport.
Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight resources to the limit.
The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read, regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be transparent.
