Niland sets up crunch Wimbledon qualifier

Ireland's No.1 ranked tennis player Conor Niland's fighting spirit was again in evidence in London yesterday when he fought back against the odds to keep his 2011 Wimbledon dream alive.

Trailing one set to love to Australian Greg Jones, Niland rallied to win 4/6, 7/5, 6/2 in his second round qualifying match to set up a deciding tie against the world number 274, Nikola Mektic from Croatia.
