Main Draw Surprise in Houston
If you take a look at the main draw of the USA Men’s Clay Court Championships, you may see one name that doesn’t look familiar. That name is Ryan Harrison. He is only 15-years old and didn’t use a wild card to get in. He came through qualies to reach the first ATP main draw of his career. He defeated Phillip King 6-1, 6-2 in the first round and Alex Reichel 6-1, 6-4 in the second round of qualifying. Harrison will now face Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay in the first round.
This is a great sign for American tennis. Harrison is an excellent young prospect who has a very bright future. He got to the semis of the Junior Aussie Open earlier this year and won the Osaka Mayor’s Cup last October. While you may not know his name right now, I bet you will very soon!
