Gordon Reid emulated his fellow Scot Andy Murray by defeating Stephane Houdet at the Wheelchair Masters to clinch the year-end world No 1 spot.

Reid has had a sensational year, winning grand slam singles titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, along with doubles titles at the French Open and Wimbledon.

Moving on to the Paralympics in Rio, he defeated team-mate Alfie Hewett to take singles gold, having partnered Hewett to a silver medal in the doubles.

Reid arrived at the Wheelchair Masters at Lee Valley Tennis Centre on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park ranked second just behind Frenchman Houdet.
