Harris was reflective but positive during the post-match press conference. He talked about how close the match was, with both players having opportunities, both serving well, and that in the end, it came down to just one or two points. Harris replied, “maybe I could have done a little bit better on his second serve, but he didn’t make it easy for me”.
He had gained confidence from the experience of playing in Futures, Challengers, Slams and qualifying as best he could: “qualifying is hard, you play against unbelievable players, and to win three matches is not that easy, so I’m super happy to have played two top players twice. The result shows that my level has picked up since playing on the challenger tour and I feel that it’s right there for the taking even against the best players”.
