Gordon Reid wins incredible 29th Grand Slam title at Roland Garros & Scottish Cup Finals set
• 4 MINUTE READ
Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett’s record-breaking haul of Grand Slam men’s wheelchair doubles reached another landmark as the top seeds claimed their 23rd Grand Slam title together.
Hewett and Reid came through a turbulent match to eventually edge out Stephane Houdet and Tokito Oda 6-4, 1-6, (10-7).
Their latest victory means that they now own an unprecedented streak of six successive titles at both the French Open and the Australian Open, the first two Grand Slam tournaments of the year.
Speaking after the final, Reid - who now has a personal tally of 29 Grand Slam titles and eight French Open doubles titles – said: “It’s always a pleasure to have him [Alfie] on my side of the net.
"I want to say a big thanks to everyone who came in to watch, you guys created such an amazing atmosphere that we love to play in front of.
"Thank you, too, to our team; all of you have worked so hard this week, and obviously back home, for moments like this.”
