Wimbledon 2019

[PKBasu]

Lloyd Harris took the first set off Roger Federer, but the latter found his range in the second and third set, playing some sublime tennis to reassert his dominance. Always good to see a Challenger level player challenge the best in the game.

Harris lost to Ramkumar at the Taipei Challenger in April 2018, and then Yuki went on to win the tournament. Our guys should know that they aren’t far off the top level, injuries permitting!
