HELENSBURGH'S Gordon Reid saw his dream of a first Grand Slam singles title in almost three years ended in the final on Saturday.
Reid was beaten 6-1, 6-3 by the world number two, Gustavo Fernandez of Argentina, in the men's wheelchair singles final at Roland Garros.
The 28-year-old had reached the final in epic fashion, coming from a set down to beat Belgium's Joachim Gerard in the last eight before repeating the feat against world number one Shingo Kunieda in Friday's semi-final.
