Gordon Reid completed a highly successful start to the year after adding the men's singles title to the men's doubles title he had already won in Adelaide.
Having reached the singles final without dropping a game, after 6-0, 6-0 wins in both his quarter-final and semi-final, the British No. 1 and top seed faced Australian Adam Kellerman, having beaten Kellerman in the quarter-finals in Adelaide in both 2010 and 2012.
Reid extended his head-to-head record against Kellerman to five straight sets wins without reply after earning a 6-2, 6-3 win in the final to secure the seventh ITF 2 Series title of his career.
"I'm very happy to get the two titles under my belt this week and pleased to begin the 2013 season in a positive way," said Reid, who will now contest the first Super Series tournament of the year, the Sydney International. "It was important to get some matches played outdoors in the heat after a long indoor stint over the winter, so I'm happy with the preparation this week before Sydney.
"I'm really looking forward to getting started in Sydney, where I know the competition will be tougher and I will have to raise my game. I'm also looking forward to a couple more tournaments playing doubles with Maikel Scheffers from the Netherlands. We are still unbeaten going in to Sydney and Melbourne, so I'm excited for the test of trying to remain unbeaten."
