Tennis: Louk Sorensen joined Conor Niland in the final round of qualifying for the US Open this afternoon after a win over Gastao Elias from Argentina in his postponed second round match.
The 6-4 6-1 win means Sorensen will now face Austria’s Martin Fischer, ranked 258th in the world, at around 11pm this evening for a place in the US Open.
By that time he might not be the only Irishman in the competition.
Niland last night beat Taipei’s Tsung-Hua Yang in straight sets and this afternoon faces Matwe Middelkoop of the Netherlands in the final round.
The Dutchman is rated below Yang (223rd) but has aleady beaten Italy's Matteo Viola (178th) in two sets.
