As you all know the Australian Open starts on Monday the 18th of January but for the qualifiers they are nearing the final stages.
Ireland has 2 men playing in the qualifiers, one from Limerick (Conor Niland) and one(Louk Sorensen) the son of Cork tennis legend Sean Sorensen.
To qualify each player has to win 3 matches and after todays round of matches both players overcame seeded opponents to advance to the final qualifying round.
So fingers crossed and all going well we could have 2 Irish men in the main draw of the first Grand Slam of the year.
That would be some achievement.
Best of Luck to both Conor and Louk.
Two Irish Juniors, John Morrissey and Sam Barry, will compete in the Australian Open Boys Singles main draw.
