South African tennis ace Lloyd Harris is into the second round at Wimbledon.
Harris, who had to qualify for the event, won in five sets against American Alex Michelsen, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/5) and 7-6 (11/9) in a match that lasted a draining 3 hours and 31 minutes.
After losing the first two sets, Harris launched a spectacular comeback by taking the third and fourth sets. The match was decided by a close tie-breaker in the fifth set in which Harris held his nerve to secure victory.
Last week, Harris came through the Wimbledon qualifiers, defeating Hugo Grenier of France in four sets, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6 and 7-6 (7/5).
Harris, who has been on the comeback trail of late after struggling with injury, is currently ranked 104th in the live ATP rankings.
