Mon 06 Jun 2008Niland looking for good week at Fitzwilliam
Tennis: Tennis enthusiasts may have their focus on Wimbledon this week but closer to home Conor Niland gets his Shelbourne Irish Open campaign under way against Britain's Alexander Slabinsky at the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club in Dublin tomorrow.
Niland comes into the ATP Challenger tournament fresh from last week's win at the ITF Futures world-ranking event in his home town of Limerick. The Irish number two, who made the final draw through his 304 world ranking, will take to the Centre Court at 6.30pm tomorrow.
