Harris has been a man in form over the last 12 months, which led to him reaching Roland Garros qualifying for the first time in his career.

The 29-year-old beat world No.126 Emilio Nava and France’s Manuel Guinard before losing out on a spot in the main draw to Valentin Vacherot.

His strong performances gave him a springboard that has already seen him reach a career-best ATP Challenger 125 semi-final at the Lexus Surbiton Trophy.

Doubles: Luke Johnson
