SCOTTISH Paralympian Gordon Reid has won bronze at this year's Tokyo Paralympic Games.
The Glasgow-based athlete won the all-British bronze medal singles match against doubles partner Alfie Hewett.
The duo were left devastated on Friday after suffering a second successive doubles final defeat to French pair Stephane Houdet and Nicolas Peifer.

The British pair settled for silver at the end of a topsy-turvy encounter which the experienced defending champions snatched 7-5 0-6 7-6 (3).
Reid and Hewett overcame the setback of dropping the opening set to lead the decider 3-1 but could not capitalise before a tense tie-break went against them.
This time Rio champion Reid, who had beaten Hewett in the singles final five years ago, saw history repeat itself – albeit with less at stake – as the Scot edged a tight encounter 6-4 3-6 7-5 in two hours and 22 minutes to secure another trip to the podium.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
