The top-seeded Alcott made light work of his British rival Andy Lapthorne in the first set, before winning 6-0, 6-4 in one hour and 15 minutes under the roof on Rod Laver Arena.

It is his 10th major singles title and the win helped avenged his shock loss to Lapthorne in last year's US Open final, which robbed the Australian of a Grand Slam.

Alcott said the most satisfying aspect of his win was the potential to provide inspiration for people with disability across a range of fields.

"Look around the top row, every single person on the top row pretty much has a disability and the disability seats," Alcott said at the post-match presentation in Rod Laver Arena.

"Look, they're full. So to any young person, keep doing what you are doing.

"I promise you as we continue to grow, society will support you and help you do whatever you want to do, like it's done for me."

Lapthorne also reached out to encourage people with disability to chase their dreams.

"If there's one disabled person at home that's watching this and wondering whether they should go for their dreams, we are proof down here that you should," Lapthorne said.

"Because I was up there the other night watching Nick Kyrgios and cheering on Nick and now I'm sitting on the court myself in front of this amazing crowd.

"So if there's anyone out there, just go for it."

Alcott, who was joined on court by Novak Djokovic at the conclusion of the presentation, paid tribute to Australian Open organisers for their support for wheelchair tennis.

"Tennis, honestly saved my life, it really did when I was younger," said Alcott, who pledged to donate $40,000 to people with disability who were affected by the bushfires in Australia.

"The Australian Open single-handedly changed my life. It really has. It's the most inclusive of the grand slams.

"To be able to back us to come out here and put on a show live on TV all around the world and in front of this unbelievable crowd, I love every single one of you for supporting what we do."

Alcott also won the men's quad wheelchair doubles title with fellow Australian Heath Davidson, with the local pairing defeating Lapthorne and American David Wagner in the final.
