Island pro beats Italy's Flavio Cobolli in three sets

Manx pro tennis player Billy Harris is through to the last four of this year's Eastbourne International.

He's beaten Italian opponent Flavio Cobolli in three sets 6-7, 7-6, 6-2 in just under two-and-a-half hours on centre court in the quarter-finals this afternoon (27 June).

He'll face Australian qualifier Max Purcell in the semi-finals tomorrow (28 June).

This tournament remains likely to be the former Albany Lawn Tennis Club and Castletown Lawn Tennis Club player's final preparations ahead of his Wimbledon debut next week.

Harris spoke to BBC Sport after taking victory today:
