Gordon Reid's winning grand slam run came to an end with defeat by Gustavo Fernandez in the men's wheelchair final at the French Open.

The Scot won his maiden slam title at the Australian Open in January, a run that included victory over speedy Argentinian Fernandez.

Reid, 24, reached the final by knocking out world number one Stephane Houdet but could not capitalise on a good start against Fernandez and lost 7-6 (7-4) 6-1.

Reid led 4-2 but was outplayed thereafter as 22-year-old Fernandez clinched his first grand slam title.
