South Africa's Lloyd Harris has continued with his preparations ahead of Wimbledon with another win on the grass-courts in England.

Harris has advanced into the second round of the Nottingham Challenger on the ATP Challenger Tour.

Yesterday the 27-year-old South African was put to the test with a three-sets win against Beibit Zhukayev of Kazakhstan.

Harris dropped the first set but fought back for a 4-6, 7-6 and 6-4 win.

On the weekend Harris claimed his third Challenger Tour title of the season by winning the grass-court Surbiton Trophy. In the quarter-finals he beat Zhukayev in three-sets.

Earlier in the year in the lead-up to the French Open, Harris won the Gwangju Challenger in Korea and the Shenzhen Challenger in China. He also reached the quarter-finals of the Busan Challenger.

On Wednesday, Harris, will face Charles Broom of England in the second round. This match in Nottingham is scheduled to get underway at 14:40 (but the time is subject to change).
