Hewett was eyeing his first Roland-Garros men's wheelchair singles title since 2021, but - as he was in 2023 and last year - the Brit was defeated by 20-year-old Oda, whose dominance knows no bounds as he keeps hold of all four major titles.
Oda came from 3-0 behind in the second set to wrap up a comprehensive 6-3 6-3 victory, claiming his ninth major title and further establishing his perch at the summit of the world rankings.
Hewett, a three-time French Open champion, kept the first set tight until he was broken for 4-3 by Oda, who accelerated to punish the Brit.
It looked as though the match would be levelled up by Hewett when he charged into a commanding second-set lead.
But Oda sparked back into life by reeling off six consecutive games to add another major to his already glittering CV.
At the Australian Open earlier this year, Oda became the youngest man to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time across any format of professional tennis, aged 19. He was also just the second man to claim four consecutive men’s wheelchair singles majors, alongside compatriot Shingo Kunieda.

Hewett, Reid continue doubles dominance

While Hewett's singles tilt fell just short, he does leave the French Open with silverware, having romped to a seventh consecutive title alongside doubles team-mate Gordon Reid.
The No. 1 seeds beat Martin de la Puente and Stephane Houdet 6-2 6-3 to continue their doubles dominance, winning their 24th Grand Slam title alongside one another.
"This was one of the toughest tournaments we faced when we first started playing doubles with each other, and it took us a fair few years to get our hands on this trophy," Hewett said.
"To win seven in a row is some achievement and I just want to say it's an absolute pleasure to be your doubles partner."
Reid added: "Big thanks to Alfie, we've been a team for a long time now, but we are finding new ways to play and new ways to enjoy it.
"It's a big year in wheelchair tennis. It's 50 years of the sport, and when we see interviews of the people, the guys who created this sport, everyone says they are amazed by where we are now and how far the sport has come."

‘The one I wanted most didn’t happen’ - De Groot lifts lid on Paralympic heartbreak

De Groot takes 24th Grand Slam title

Diede de Groot, the world No. 2 in the women's wheelchair world rankings, won her 24th Grand Slam singles title with a dominant victory over Ksenia Chasteau on Saturday.
De Groot wrapped up the 6-1 6-0 win inside 50 minutes to claim her first major since hip surgery in 2024, which kept her out of action for around eight months.
Saturday marked the sixth time De Groot has won the French Open title, and it is her first major since Wimbledon in 2024.
There was an outpouring of emotion from De Groot when Chasteau double-faulted on match point to secure her the title. It was retribution after a tough defeat in the Paralympic Games at the grounds of Roland-Garros two years ago.

"Two years ago, I lost at the Paralympic Games here, and it broke my heart," De Groot said. "Then, I went through a difficult period. I doubted myself, and suffered a series of injuries.
"Being here this year, winning, but also playing matches, and managing to string them together, is so special and important for me. I feel like myself again, good again, and it's a huge achievement; I'm proud of it."
Yui Kamiji and Zhenzhen Zhu beat Dutch duo Jinte Bos and Lizzy De Greef 6-3 6-0 in the women's wheelchair doubles final.
