Queen Elizabeth (above) met with the Governor-General of Australia David Hurley and the 2022 Australians of the Year in early May
'I fortunately won a couple Wimbledon titles and beat some Great Britain players, which I was happy about but maybe you weren't so happy about,' he joked.
The cheeky quip was enough to draw a giggle out of the Queen.
Mr Alcott then explained the reason he 'gets up in the morning' is to change people's perceptions of disability and what the Australian of the Year award has meant to him.
'I get emotional talking about it to be honest,' he said.
'When I was a young kid I used to hate myself, your Majesty.
During their meeting 2022 Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott (pictured with his partner Chantell Otten) made the Queen giggle after joking that she 'wouldn't be happy' at his victories over British tennis players
'If I thought anybody in a wheelchair - let alone myself - would be Australian of the Year, I wouldn't have believed you.
''When I told my mum that I was getting to meet you, she cried.'
Also in attendance was the Governor-General of Australia David Hurley, his wife Linda, the 2022 Australians of the Year: Dylan Alcott, Valmai Dempsey, Dr Daniel Nour and Shanna Whan.
