Reid beat Carlos Muro of Mexico 6-1 6-0 in the second round in St Louis, having receive a first round bye.

The win earnied him a tie with Japan's Shingo Kunieda in the quarter-finals.

The world number two has suffered early singles exits in the three Grand Slam tournaments since he topped the podium at last year's Rio Paralympics.

But after a narrow semi-final defeat to fellow Brit Alfie Hewett at the British Open earlier this month, Reid is confident he is in good shape for a tilt at the US Open, a Grand Slam he is yet to triumph in.

He said: “I struggled at the start of the year and obviously there have been some other players who have been in great form.

“I’m really looking forward to the US Open.”

When it comes to the future of wheelchair tennis, Reid would like to see a balance between the development at both ends of the player spectrum.

“Just recently at Wimbledon, we had finals on Court No. 3, one of the bigger show courts, and some really great crowds there and we were live on TV again," he continued.

"So those are the kind of steps we need to continue to make - and at the top of the game, trying to professionalise the sport and trying to integrate as much as possible with the ATP and WTA, as well.

“But also at the grass roots and participation level, I’d just love to see more and more people playing the sport.

"So I’d like to see more and more excitement around the grass roots side as possible, so both ends of the sport are developing, not just one or the other.”
