Dylan Alcott has made a habit of winning Grand Slams, claiming a second consecutive title at the French Open overnight.
The Australian legend has also made a habit of giving poingant victory speeches following his tournament wins.
He continued that trend in Paris this weekend after his 6-2 6-2 win over Andy Lapthorne in the quad wheelchair final.
Alcott, now an 11-time Grand Slam singles champion, thanked tournament organisers for their continued support of wheelchair athletes, particularly considering the extraordinary circumstances of 2020.

"I just want to thank Roland Garros for having us," he said on Court Suzanne-Lenglen after his win.
"It's the second year that we've been here, but the first time that we've played on a big court.
"This is live right now right across Australia and right across the UK as well.
"Thanks a lot for changing our lives and allowing our quad division at Roland Garros.
"We can't wait to keep putting on a show and coming back for years and years. Merci beaucoup."
"This is the first time we've played on a big court... thanks so much for changing our lives. We can't wait to keep putting on a show and coming back... and merci beaucoup!"

It was a huge result for Alcott, who admits he "stuffed up" the US Open final a month ago, when went down in three sets to Sam Schroder.
The loss in the final came after Alcott and others waged a battle to have the event included at the US Open.
The United States Tennis Association had initially ditched the division for the 2020 tournament due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Alcott says the support he received from the biggest names in tennis during his fight to be included in the US Open was incredible.
“It's massive. It was like when we didn't get in the US Open, I almost fell out of my wheelchair when Andy Murray calls me and goes, ‘Hey, man, I've been speaking to Roger, Novak, Rafa and the boys, and we put in the WhatsApp. They can't believe you're not there either. We're going to try to help,'" Alcott revealed.
"I can't believe they know my name, now they're like 'G'day, Dyl, saw your game, how good's your backhand going?'
"It's like we're equal in a sense.
"If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for the public. It's good enough for center court. It's good enough for the sponsors. It's good enough for people to buy tickets. It's good enough for TV."
Despite his incredible success already, Alcott says he wants to keep winning and campaigning for the next generation.
“I feel privileged to play it, I really do. I love it," he said.
"I just want to build the sport so when I retire, the next generation of kids can get sponsors, they can afford to come, can afford to buy a wheelchair.
"People do watch them. That's what I want to try and do.”
