Isle of Man pro-tennis player Billy Harris is competing in the quarter-finals of the Eastbourne International today.

The former Albany Lawn Tennis Club and Castletown Lawn Tennis Club competitor – who’s received a wildcard entry into Wimbledon this year – is taking on Italy’s Flavio Cobolli on centre court at 11am.

In yesterday’s second round Harris beat fellow Brit Charles Broom in three sets 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 in just over two hours.

This tournament looks likely to mark his final preparation ahead of the Wimbledon men’s singles with the first round draw for that currently expected to take place on Friday morning at 10am.

His recent success sees him 139th in the ATP world rankings.

You can watch the Eastbourne International live on BBC and the Tennis Channel.
