Kasiri goes for junior Wimbledon glory

MARGATE tennis player Miles Kasiri continues his quest for Wimbledon glory today when he takes on the American Timothy Neilly in the second round of the Boy's singles.

Kasiri, the junior world number 39, came through a gruelling first round match against Rafael Arevalo Gonzalez of Spain yesterday. He took the first set 6-0, but was forced to play an exhausting second set, eventually winning it 19-17 on a tie-break.

Kasiri has already had some grass court success this season, winning the junior Stella Artois tournament at Queens.

He will go into today's encounter with confidence having already played, and beaten, his opponent on clay last year.
