Scottish wheelchair tennis star Gordon Reid says it feels “incredible” to finally get his hands on a Paralympic gold medal after previously coming so close in “heartbreaking” final defeats.

The 32-year-old took silver in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 alongside long-term doubles partner Alfie Hewitt, but it was third time lucky for the Team GB duo this summer in Paris when they ended their wait for the top prize.

They recorded a dominant straight-sets victory at Roland Garros to beat Japanese second seeds Takuya Miki and Tokito Oda 6-2 6-1.
