Conor Niland in final round of qualifiers at Wimbledon: Play suspended until tomorrow due to rain

Niland currently leads 4-2 over the Croatian who has a ranking of 274.
Niland qualified for the final round after a 4-6 7-5 6-2 win over Australian Greg Jones in the second round. Conor defeated Josselin Ouanna (FRA) in the first round on a scoreline 6-3 4-6 8-6. He currently holds a ranking of 184 and represented Ireland in March of this year at Davis Cup. A place in the main draw would be a first for Niland who won the Salzburg and Ramat Hasharon Challengers in 2010.
