Billy Harris hopes to park the van story after fulfilling Wimbledon dream

The 29-year-old has been one of the stories of the grass-court season with his runs to the quarter-finals at Queen’s Club and the semi-finals in Eastbourne prior to his Wimbledon debut on Tuesday.

Parking in McDonald’s car parks and cooking on a camping stove, it was a far cry from the glamorous image of the grand slams. “It’d be nice to get a few wins at Wimbledon and change the van story to a Wimbledon story,” said Harris with a smile. “It was a difficult year but I felt like I managed it well and was always focused on being positive and getting back to where I want to be. Thankfully since the start of this year I’ve managed to gain some good momentum.”
