Alfie Hewett, a fellow Briton, won silver in Rio and is now in the fourth round after defeating Nicolas Peifer, France, 6-3, 6-3.
Reid will take on Shingo Kunieda, the world number one and favourite of Reid for a spot in the final. Hewett is up against second seed Hewett or Tom Egberink from the Netherlands or Daniel Caverzaschi from Spain.
