Australian Open champion Reid, the world number four, will face Argentina’s Gustavo Fernandez, the world number six, in Saturday’s final.

“It feels like I’ve got the monkey off my back at the Slams. I can play my own game,” Reid told BBC Sport.

“It means a lot to get to the final again. I’m really enjoying these matches and I’m looking forward to Saturday.”

Reid and partner Shingo Kunieda of Japan are in the doubles final and will be bidding to retain the title they won last year.
