Yosuke Watanuki won his first career match at Wimbledon on Thursday, coming from two sets down to secure a berth in the second round of the men's singles draw.
Watanuki, who also reached the second round at this year's Australian Open in his Grand Slam debut, defeated Switzerland's Marc-Andrea Huesler 6-7 (5-7), 5-7, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in a 3 hour, 59-minute match that had been suspended Wednesday due to darkness.
"I'm overcome with happiness, having won out at the end," said the 25-year-old Watanuki. "I was intent on playing as well as I could, so that I'd have no regrets."
