Reid, speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, on what it feels like to be a gold medallist: “I’m speechless. It doesn't sound real. I'd never felt like I'd played well on the big stage until Australia this year.
"Since then I've enjoyed the pressure situations. It definitely hasn't sunk in yet. As soon as I go away and go in the locker room, I might lose the plot.
"Me and Alfie know each other's games inside out. We know our strengths and weaknesses. Today I felt like anything I tried came off. I was really clear headed. I was playing smart tennis. I saw the ball like a basketball."
