Willis on course for Wimbledon after qualifying win

WARWICK'S Marcus Willis produced an impressive display to beat Andrej Martin of Slovakia in the first round of Wimbledon qualifying.

Willis, who is a coach at Warwick Boat Club, won 7-5 7-5 against Martin, a player ranked 226 places higher at 148 in the world.

The 26-year-old will next face fellow Briton Liam Broady, with three wins required to qualify for the main draw next week.

Willis won six matches last year to get through qualifying, then reached round two before losing to Roger Federer.
