Madadman · Masters Series Champion

I wondered who had popped up in the main draw as there appeard to be a few pages added after Billy's FQR lose. Glad to see that he not only got a LL place but has taken adavantage of this!!

Spectator · All-time great

That's a great win. Well done, Mr Harris!

Go, Billy Harris

So much for the rematch against Lizariturry, who ended up getting beaten 1&2 by the Japanese opponent.

L16: (LL) Billy Harris WR 1195 v Akira Santillan (JAP) WR 577 (CH 573 last week)

What a lovely surprise to get home to - not just a LL place but the result!

That's a career best scalp for Billy, I think, and his 2nd top 400 scalp.

Amazing what a clean pair of pants will do! just hope that if Billy continues in this vein of form, that Bob treats him to the works ie steps up from the Carrefour own brand and gets out the conditioner, blue whitener and a quick iron.

The Japanese opponent was junior no. 7 last summer.

Well Billy gave the current JNR 2 a run for his money last week, so the JNR 7 from last year should be no problem.

And beat the JNR 8 from two years ago today....

Miriambee · Futures level

ITF is saying he beat Clement Geens (6th seed) 6-2 6-4.

and now he's to play Akila Santillan (Jap) (who beat Lizariturry) in R16.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Billy is underway and it's not good news so far - 0-3

paulisi · Tennis legend

However Billy wins 5 of the next 6 games and serves for the set.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Billy just loves going 0-3 down and the turning it around, doesn't he.

1st set in the bag at 6-4
