Tennis: Harris progresses in China as opponent retires

The Manxman faces France's Arthur Gea next

Isle of Man tennis player Billy Harris has continued his winning run with victory in his opening match at the Guangzhou ATP Challenger event.

The world number 136 is through to the second round of the tournament after his opponent Denis Yevseyev retired injured.

Harris had taken the first set 6-4 and was 4-0 up in the second before Yevseyev's withdrawal.

He'll face Frenchman Arthur Gea for a place in the quarter-finals in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

It comes after Harris secured his first ATP Challenger title at the Cassis Open in France last week.
