Tennis: Harris into final qualifying round at Australian Open

Manxman one win away from a place in the first grand slam of the year

Billy Harris is just one win away from a place in the main draw at the Australian Open.

The Isle of Man tennis player cruised to a 6-1 6-2 victory over Spain's Carlos Taberner in the second round of qualifying this morning.

He'll now face Kamil Majchrzak of Poland in the final qualifying match for a spot in the first grand slam event of the year.

If he wins, it will be the first time Harris has qualified for the event in Melbourne.
