The 23-year-old thrashed Sweden’s former world number two Olsson 6-0, 6-1 at the Nottingham Tennis Centre to complete his preparations for the year-end NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters in London this coming week. It was Reid’s third Nottingham Indoor title since 2011.

He said: “The way I played out there doesn’t surprise me because I do it consistently in training.

“The hardest thing about tennis is putting what you do in practice into match play situations — I did it perfectly today.

“I have convinced myself that I can do it in matches in a pressure situation because that was a final match against a player in really good form.” On his arrival in the East Midlands, Reid stressed he was determined to discover world-beating form, but that everything was focused on preparing for his third successive campaign at the Masters, the ITF’s season-end championship for the world’s top players.

Having overcome London-bound Joachim Gerard, the 2013 Masters runner-up, in the Nottingham semi-final over three gruelling sets on Saturday, the British number one found what he was looking for.

He said: “I’m really pleased with the way I played — that is exactly the way I want to play next week.” “I just hope I haven’t peaked a little bit too soon for London.” Reid missed out on clinching the doubles title when he returned to court just hours later, as he and France’s Michael Jeremiasz were beaten 6-4, 6-3 by top seeds Gerard and Frenchman Nicolas Peifer. Both Gerard and Peifer will be in the eight-strong men’s field alongside Reid in London.

Organised by the Tennis Foundation, the Nottingham Indoor is an ITF 1 Series event on the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Tour.
