Bio

Gordon Reid completed his Paralympic set alongside teammate Alfie Hewett as the duo dominated the doubles’ final to become Paralympic champions for the first time.

With his iconic fanbase in tow, the Brits are now pushing on towards their next milestone of titles.

Gordon was the Rio 2016 men’s singles gold medallist and doubles silver medallist, Tokyo 2020 men’s singles bronze medallist and doubles silver medallist, Australian Open 2016 men’s singles champion, Wimbledon 2016 men’s singles champion, 25-time Grand Slam doubles champion, four-time World Team Cup gold medallist.

A keen footballer and tennis player as a child, Gordon started playing wheelchair tennis in 2005 and has never looked back, earning a place on the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year shortlist in 2006.

Like his now doubles partner Alfie Hewett he is a multiple Junior Masters champion and in 2007 he helped Great Britain to win the World Team Cup junior title, aged just 15.

Gordon made his Paralympic Games debut at Beijing 2008 in 2008, but it was at Rio 2016 where he would achieve unprecedented success.

Having started 2016 by winning his first Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Open, he went on to win the inaugural Wimbledon men’s wheelchair Singles title and in Rio he would become ParalympicsGB’s first men’s singles gold medallist, beating Alfie Hewett in the final and then partnering Hewett to the first of two back-to-back men’s doubles silver medals.

In recent seasons Gordon and Alfie have passed landmark after landmark in doubles competition and in June this year they won their fifth French Open men’s doubles title at Roland Garros, the venue for the Paris 2024 Paralympic wheelchair tennis event.

During the 2024 grass court wheelchair tennis season they achieved their 50th title as a doubles partnership and in earning their sixth Wimbledon men’s doubles title they took their tally of Grand Slam titles to 2, while their latest Wimbledon triumph also earned Reid his 100th senior men’s doubles title.
