Reid\u2019s early dominance<\/b><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]The two Brits have been a feature at the top of their sport for several years. Hewett is a three-time Grand Slam champion, Reid has won two, and as a partnership they have claimed a remarkable seven men\u2019s doubles Slam victories \u2013 all since 2017.<\/p>\n

But on their journey to the summit of wheelchair tennis, the pair have faced off regularly against one another \u2013 first meeting in 2013 at the North East Wheelchair Tournament. Reid would triumph 6-0 6-1 over Hewett, and would go on to his next six meetings against his future doubles partner.<\/p>\n

Hewett, who is now the British No.1 and World No.3, wouldn\u2019t defeat Reid for four years \u2013 making his breakthrough in the semi-final stage of the 2017 Sydney International Open.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Hewett\u2019s first win against his close friend and doubles partner would not be his last of a 2017 which proved to be a huge year for both men.<\/p>\n

The duo would be involved in a number of firsts in the wheelchair game. They featured in the first all-Brit men\u2019s singles semi-final at the British Open, thefirst all-Brit men\u2019s singles semi-final at a Grand Slam in the US Open, and Hewett would win his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros (Reid won two Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 2016).<\/p>\n

In total the pair faced off against each other on seven occasions \u2013 Reid won three and Hewett won four.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Following a blockbuster 2017 for both men 2018 was also evenly-matched \u2013 the duo met on four occasions winning two apiece \u2013 but since 2019 Hewett has dominated.<\/p>\n

Hewett \u2013 who won the US Open in 2018 and 2019 \u2013 was forced to work hard in his last encounter with Reid, winning 7-5 7-5 in a match held last week at LTA Wheelchair Tennis Series at the National Tennis Centre, and he will have to overcome his fellow Brit once again if he is to make it a three-peat of titles in New York.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
