HELENSBURGH hero Gordon Reid is still on course for glory at the Paralympic Games.

The former Hermitage Academy pupil won singles gold at Rio in 2016 and followed that up with bronze in Tokyo three years ago, while he and fellow Brit Alfie Hewett took silver in both Brazil and Japan.

Reid and Hewett made it safely through to the doubles semi-finals on Tuesday afternoon with a dominant 6-2, 6-1 win over the Dutch duo of Ruben Spaargaren and Maarten Ter Hofte.

They'll play the host nation's fourth seeds, Stephane Houdet and Frederic Cattaneo, in the semi-finals.

And in the quarter-finals of the singles, Reid will line up against the fourth seed, Gustavo Fernandez of Argentina, on Wednesday.

Reid overcame Takuya Miki of Japan 6-1, 6-1 in the singles last 16, making him unbeaten in 19 matches against the ninth seed.  

The 32-year-old sped through the opening set to lead 5-0, echoing his second round double bagel victory over Suresh Dharmasena of Sri Lanka.

A successful last attempt to forestall the Briton led Miki to hold as Reid conceded his first game of the tournament, but the resistance put up by Reid's opponent didn't last too much longer.

“I knew it was going to be a step up in level from yesterday’s match, but I think I responded to that really well,” said Reid.

“I controlled the majority of the match and I’m just really happy to take the next step forward.”

Reid and Hewett began their bid for doubles glory, and what the pair hope will be their first doubles Paralympic gold, with a 6-1, 6-3 second round win over the Chilean duo of Alexander Cataldo and Brayan Tapia to set up Tuesday's tie against Spaargaren and Ter Hofte.

In the other semi-final, Miki and his countryman Tokito Oda face the Spanish pair of Daniel Caverzaschi and Martin de la Puente.
