In the doubles competition he reached the second round at the Australian Open in 2003 together with Ryan Henry .

Reid played a singles for the Australian Davis Cup team in 2004 . In the play-off in the world group, he lost in two sets against Mounir El Aarej after Australia had already led 3-0 without catching up.
