SA's Lloyd Harris cards stunning upset win at Miami Open
South Africa's Lloyd Harris has secured a stunning upset victory over Denis Shapovalov in the second round of the Miami Open.
Playing on Sunday morning (SA time), the 25-year-old was brilliant from start to finish as he won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.
It has been a hugely inconsistent year so far for Harris, with some disappointing losses along the way, but he seems to be finding the form that saw him progress to the quarter-finals of the US Open last year.
Harris is now in the last 32 of the tournament, where he will take on Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka on Monday.
