Paralympic champion Gordon Reid was knocked out of the US Open wheelchair singles in the quarter-finals with a three-set defeat by Stephane Houdet.

Britain’s Reid, 27, was beaten 4-6 6-4 6-1 by the Frenchman but is still in with the chance of a title in New York when he plays in the doubles final with Alfie Hewett.

Hewett’s quarter-final against Shingo Kunieda was suspended because of rain.

The 21-year-old defending champion was leading 4-1 in the first set.

Elsewhere at Flushing Meadows, Andy Lapthorne lost in his second quad wheelchair singles round-robin match as Australian Dylan Alcott came from behind to win.

Alcott, who beat the Briton to win the Wimbledon title in July, prevailed 0-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 in New York.`

Lapthorne defeated David Wagner on Thursday and will play American Bryan Barten in his final round-robin match on Saturday.

The top two after the completion of the round-robin tournament will advance to Sunday’s final.

Lapthorne will also team up with Alcott in the quad doubles final, having won together at Wimbledon.
