Australian Open 2017: Gordon Reid completes career Grand Slam in doubles

Britain's Gordon Reid completed a career Grand Slam in the wheelchair men's doubles by winning the Australian Open in a final set tie-break.

Reid, alongside Belgian Joachim Gerard, won 6-3 3-6 1-0 (10-3) against fellow Briton Alfie Hewett and Gus Fernandez.

The Scot, 25, won Wimbledon last year alongside Hewett, after previously winning the US and French Open (twice).

There could be more British success in Melbourne after Andy Lapthorne reached the quad singles final.

Lapthorne, 26, will meet Australia's Dylan Alcott, who beat him in the 2016 Paralympics final, on Rod Laver Arena on Saturday after semi-final opponent Heath Davidson pulled out through injury.
