Britain's Gordon Reid suffered a straight sets defeat to 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 No 1 Stephane Houdet but his winning Grand Slam run came to an end when he failed to 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 major title.

Reid is also in the doubles final alongside Shingo Kunieda, while Britain's Jordanne Whiley and Japanese partner Yiu Kamiji will contest the women's doubles final.
