Tennis: Harris from SA returns to the French Open main draw

#  Tennis: South African Lloyd Harris will play Russian Andrey Rublev in the first round of the French Open tomorrow after having to qualify for the claycourt Grand Slam tournament. Repetitive injuries caused the 28-year-old to slide down the world rankings, from 31st in September 2021 to his current 224th position. Harris beat the 2014 US Open champion, Marin Cilic of Croatia, in the final qualifying round in Paris on Saturday to earn his place in the main draw. Rublev is seeded 17th at Roland Garros.
