Tennis: Billy Harris one step away from French Open main draw

Island pro player reaches third qualifying round at Roland Garros

Isle of Man pro tennis player Billy Harris is just one match away from potentially booking a place in this year's French Open.

He's reached the third qualifying round of the men's singles event following a three-set second-round win over Manuel Guinard (3-6, 6-3, 7-6) earlier today (22 May).

Harris - formerly of Albany Lawn Tennis Club on Island - will now face Monaco's Valentin Vacherot for a place in the grand slam event main draw.

Should he progress to the men's singles competition proper, that is due to get underway at Roland Garros on Sunday, 26 May.
