Gordon Reid
Gordon, or Gio, is a wheelchair tennis player,
And comes from Helensburgh in Scotland,
He won the very first Wimbledon this year,
For the wheelchair men’s singles grandstand.
Six weeks after leaving hospital with a chair,
He won the B Division Singles in Glasgow
At the age of just fourteen, and then square,
He became the National Champion Apollo.
Gordon then turned 18 in September 2008,
The year he won at the Juniors in Tarbes,
Then he kept this title in 2009, then rate,
In Turkey 2010 Gordon had fourth agility.
In 2015 he won the French and US Opens,
And then in 2016 he won both Wimbledon,
And also the French Open again, no tokens:
It was real, and everyone cheered Gordon!
He now lives in Alexandria, a very small town
In West Dumbartonshire: comes from a family
Of tennis players and began playing the mown,
When he was six, Karen Ross is coach, history.
