Gordon Reid won the men’s singles and doubles titles at the same WC500 tournament for the second time this season at the Open du Loiret in France.
Second seed Reid earned three comfortable straight-sets wins on his way to the singles final against top seed and world number four Gustavo Fernandez, including beating Stefan Olsson of Sweden 6-1, 6-3 in the latest rematch of their 2016 Wimbledon final and stretching his unbeaten record against world number seven Tom Egberink of the Netherlands to 24 matches with a 6-1, 6-1 semi-final victory.
The Scot then completed his run to the title by beating Fernandez 6-0, 3-6, 7-5.
Reid and Fernandez also combined to beat fellow Brit Ben Bartram and Brazilian Daniel Rodrigues in the doubles final 5-7, 7-5, 10-4.

McKay and Fryer conquered three seeded pairs en route to the final where they faced fourth seeds Tanapatt Nirundorn and Pablo Perez Ramos and overcame a tough second set to claim the title 6-4, 6-7, 10-6.
