The road to a first ATP Tour win has been long and arduous for Billy Harris.
After spending a few years at the start of his professional career driving to tournaments around Europe in a Ford Transit van, the 28-year-old from the Isle of Man has finally reached his planned destination.
On Tuesday, he secured a 6-4 3-6 7-6 (7-5) win against Switzerland's Marc-Andrea Huesler at the Sofia Open.
Two months short of his 29th birthday, and almost 10 years after his professional debut, Harris's perseverance has paid off.
"It's definitely been a slow process," Harris, who plays Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff in the second round on Wednesday, told BBC Sport.
