Manxman to face world number nine in next match

Manx tennis player Billy Harris is part of Great Britain's team for the United Cup event in Sydney.

The competition features mixed-gender teams from 18 nations, and got underway earlier this week.

The 29-year-old is representing Britian in the men's singles matches, with Katie Boulter competing in the women's singles and Charles Broom joining Boulter in the mixed doubles.

Harris, currently ranked 125th in the world, was narrowly beaten by Tomas Martin Etcheverry, but Britain went on to secure a 2-1 victory over Argentina.

Great Britain's next tie is against Australia on New Year's Day, when Harris is due to face world number nine Alex de Minaur.
