Great Britain's Gordon Reid landed his second Wimbledon title of the weekend with a brilliant victory in the tournament's first wheelchair singles event.
The 24-year-old from Glasgow beat Sweden's Stefan Olsson 6-1 6-4 to the delight of a large crowd on Court 17.
Nerves looked to affect him when Reid double-faulted on his first match point, but on the second Olsson sliced a backhand into the net and the home crowd roared its delight, chanting “Reid-o, Reid-o”.
Reid and Alfie Hewett took the men's wheelchair doubles title on Saturday, and Sunday was shaping up to be a big day for British tennis with Andy Murray, Heather Watson and women's wheelchair doubles star Jordanne Whiley also heading into finals.
