Gordon James Reid (born 2 October 1991) is a British professional wheelchair tennis player. He was ranked world No. 1 in singles and world No. 1 in doubles.[1] He holds two Paralympic gold medals, two silver medals, and one bronze medal, and is a two-time Grand Slam singles champion, and record holding twenty-six time Grand Slam doubles champion.[2]
His first appearance for Great Britain at the Summer Paralympics was when he was age sixteen at Beijing 2008. He later reached the quarterfinals in the singles in London 2012 as well as the quarterfinals in doubles.[3] He won Paralympic gold in the men's singles event at Rio 2016 and silver in the doubles event with partner Alfie Hewett, whom he beat in the singles final. At Tokyo 2020, Reid won bronze in the singles and silver in the doubles with Hewett. The pair later went on to complete a calendar year Grand Slam, winning all four majors in 2021. At Paris 2024 he won his second gold medal, partnering Hewett again in the men's doubles. He currently holds the record for most doubles slam titles won by a wheelchair player in any division (men's, women's, and quads), with 26.
Reid was born able-bodied, claiming that he enjoyed a wide variety of sports as a kid including football and tennis. However, at the age of 12, he contracted a rare neurological condition called transverse myelitis which left him paralyzed from the waist down.[4]
