CAPE TOWN - South Africa’s Lloyd Harris scored a superb first-round 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 win over Australian Alexei Popyrin at the French Open yesterday.
“I served well and just kept piling on the pressure. I forced him to miss some balls and make some unforced errors which he did not want to make. Both players held serve in the third set and in the resultant tiebreaker Harris delayed his victory charge after surrendering two match points, but he finally signed off with a 9/7 outcome to wrap up a straight-sets win. It will be the second time Harris has won through to the second round at Roland Garros.
