Fabulous,well done Gordon!:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[Josephine]

Well done Gordon Reid! :trophy::boogie:

Really deserves a SPOTY nomination - but just so many candidates in an Olympic year.

[Alis]

Fantastic - so pleased for Gordon! :cheer::cheer::cheer::GBflag::dance::dance::dance: :bravo::cheer::cheer::cheer: In another year Gordon may well have been nominated for SPOTY. He certainly merits nomination but then so many do this year and so many worthy contenders have been omitted. Maybe the BBC will have to rethink the short list procedure.

[Jan]

Brilliant! Well done Gordon!
:trophy::cheer::cheer:

[Teresa]

I do wish they had a separate SPOTY, or at least a Para Sports person of the year. You don't expect the Para sports people to compete in the same events as the able bodied ones, so why should they have to compete for SPOTY in the same way. They know they are included for political correctness. It's not a level playing field - and I say that as a disabled person.

Brilliant result, so pleased for Gordon. Who would ever have thought that we would have the no.1 male singles, doubles and wheelchair champions. And all in the same year too. Truly a golden year for British tennis :GBflag:

Gordon about to start his last match of 2016, the masters final v Gerrard, live on bbc web

[roytennisfan]

Gordon breaks back 5-5

[roytennisfan]

Gordon a set up

[roytennisfan]

Gordon breaks back down again 3-3 in second set

[roytennisfan]

Back to one set all, Cmon Gordon!

[roytennisfan]

Really tough match, broken and 0-1

[roytennisfan]

Looking more like one match too many for Gordon

[roytennisfan]

Holds a long service game 1-4, at least it stops the rot

[roytennisfan]

Wins a long game to get a break back 3-5

[roytennisfan]

Holds 4-5, Cmon Gordon

Gerard repeats his Masters win, great match really close

[roytennisfan]

Gordon started his year with 6-0 6-1 win in Sydney, plays his QF tomorrow

[roytennisfan]

Gordon won both his singles and doubles today and will play both semi finals tomorrow

[roytennisfan]

Gordon lost the first set 5-7 against Hewett (repeat of Rio final) but then play was suspended because of the heat

[roytennisfan]

Alfie Hewett won 7-5 6-2, his turn today

[cazza99]

What a shame he couldn't join all the other brits in the finals.

Not bad though, having brits in the semis for the all the main comps in Sydney - wheelchair tennis, men's, women's and doubles.

[roytennisfan]

What a shame he couldn't join all the other brits in the finals.

Not bad though, having brits in the semis for the all the main comps in Sydney - wheelchair tennis, men's, women's and doubles.

Alfie Hewett is another Brit!

[roytennisfan]

Gordon and Alfie then teamed up to win their doubles semi final 10-7 in the third, so with Jo Jamie and Dan, Brits made 5 finals in Sydney

[JAMES4578]

Awesome,well done Gordon and Alfie-hope it goes well in the final!

[cazza99]

Alfie Hewett is another Brit!

oops. well done the brits then. :clap:

[roytennisfan]

Not the best day today, Brits lost all 4 mens finals, Gordon and Alfie lost the wheelchair doubles 3-6 6-7(4), Alfie lost his singles 5-7 1-6. A good day for Nicolas Peifer winning both

[Stell]

He went out in the first round.

[roytennisfan]

Yes both Gordon and Alfie lost their singles, unfortunately

[Alis]

Another case of 'burn out' maybe?

[Jane]

Gordon and Alfie, with their respective partners, were in the doubles final. Gordon and Joachim Gerard (Bel) won. Well done!!:yahoo:

[Jan]

:clap::clap:

[JAMES4578]

Not great for Gordon in singles but marvellous he took doubles with Joachim,well done!

[JAMES4578]

Unfortunately Gordon Reid not doing well,down a set and 5-3 to Olsson (last year's beaten finalist)l- come on! Sadly Reid outplayed 6-2,6-3 in quarters -still has doubles though with Alfie Hewett.

[karanga]

Sadly not Gordon's day but good luck in the doubles with Alfie. :wimcry:

[Stell]

I saw him on the Breakfast programme, this morning, doing their Game, Set, Mug competition. He only got six balls into the mug. The competition was won by Andy, who got 14.

[Hawkeye]

Gordon on court in his quarter.

[roytennisfan]

Gordon has has a fantastic comeback win from 1-5 down in the decider against world #1 Fernandez in the second round of his group at the Wheelchair Masters event for the world top8 at Loughborough (edit he lost his opening match but won his second), should qualify him as runner up in his group.

[roytennisfan]

Gordon wins opening set of his semi final 7-5 v Kunieda, Alfie in second semi next, then Andy Lapthorne in Quads semi, all live here https://www.lta.org.uk/major-events/international-events/nec-wheelchair-tennis-masters/watch/

[roytennisfan]

Gordon thought to the final, wins in straight sets, now it's up to Alfie

[themass15]

Good news indeed

[Jan]

Managed to have half an eye on the match - really entertaining.
Well done Gordon :clap:

[Jane]

Gordon playing Hewett in the final right now - BBC red button. Gordon leads 3 - 0

[Jane]

Gordon went off the boil and Alfie won the first set 6 - 3 :sad:

[roytennisfan]

Shame almost over, hoped it would be closer....sort of expected Alfie to win the way he played in the semi

[Jane]

Alfie wins the match ....6-3, 6-2..well done. :cheer::cheer:

Sadly, Gordon seemed to acquire some physical problem - not that he would admit it!

[Alis]

Well, if Gordon had to be beaten in the final, I'm sure he would rather it was by Alfie than anyone else. Bad luck, Gordon!

[JAMES4578]

Pity Gordon couldn't put up more of a challenge but seems reason for that, still good run. Know a bit late commenting now!
