Reister became only the second man in the history of professional tennis to record a golden set (first had been Bill Scanlon in 1983, Stefano Napolitano joined them in 2015). In the first round of qualifying at the 2013 US Open, he defeated compatriot Tim Puetz 6–7(3), 6–4, 6–0. This is also the only match ever recorded with a golden set that lasted more than two sets.
