Gordon Reid produced a brilliant performance on Sunday to beat top seed and world number 3 Gustavo Fernandez 6-2, 6-2 to lift his first wheelchair singles title at the LTA’s cinch Championships at The Queen’s Club in London.

Reid, runner-up to fellow Brit Alfie Hewett in 2019, claimed his second singles title of 2021 as the 2016 Wimbledon champion beat Argentina’s 2019 Wimbledon champion Fernandez in an hour and 18 minutes.

Reid won through to the final with a 3-6, 6-1, 13-11 defeat of Belgium's Joachim Gerard in the last four after his scheduled quarter-final opponent, fellow Brit Alfie Hewett, was forced to pull out of the tournament with a back injury.

After his final victory, the former Hermitage Academy pupil, currently sixth in the world singles rankings, said: “It’s a great feeling. Tactically I got it spot on today and executed the game plan pretty convincingly.

"I served pretty steadily and returned the right spot, so everything combined to give me a good chance to do well.

"I like to slice my backhand, it becomes more effective on the grass and causes a lot of damage. That’s one shot that worked really well today.”

Reid won the last four games of the first set in the final and secured the early break in the second set before completing a clinical performance with a deep cross court backhand that Fernandez was unable to return with any accuracy.

The victorious Brit added: “Just being around here in the grounds and seeing the boards with all the title winners over the years and there are some iconic names on there stretching back a long time, so it’s great that the wheelchair event is here and we are part of a great event with so much history.

"It’s amazing to have my name on the boards as one of the winners now.”
