British Open 2022: how to watch Britain’s Gordon Reid in wheelchair tennis action - live streaming details

The British Open wheelchair championship is currently underway just a few days after the conclusion of Wimbledon 2022.

Scotland’s Gordon Reid made it through to the final at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet club in the doubles tournament along with his partner Alfie Hewett and now the 30-year-old is bidding for his first LTA title in the British Open 2022.

Reid is one of Britain’s most successful wheelchair tennis players, currently sitting at number 4 in the singles world rankings and number one in the doubles.

The Scot has also won two Grand Slam singles titles, however he is yet to win the British Open singles title before and is bidding for a win on his home turf this year.

Speaking to the press ahead of the tournament, Reid said: “I’ve made a couple of finals. I’ve lost to Shingo (Kunieda) in the final here.

“It’s the British Open, it’s the first international event I ever played, back in 2005. I’ve come here for a long time but I’ve never won it, so I’ll be trying my best to do that obviously.”
