0 Comments | AFP, April, 2008
HOUSTON, Texas (AFP) — American teen Ryan Harrison became the third-youngest player in 18 years to win an ATP match, defeating Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay 6-4, 6-3, at the ATP US Men's Clay Court Championship.
Harrison, 15, became the 10th player in the Open Era on Monday to win an ATP match at such a young age.
He joins Richard Gasquet and world number 2 Rafael Nadal as the only 15-year-olds to win a match since 1990.
Ranked 1,277 in the world, Harrison could face top-seeded James Blake in the next round.
American Blake is hoping to carry the momentum from his Davis Cup victories over the ATP Tour.
Blake captured a pair of singles wins in the U.S.'s 4-1 victory over France in the Davis Cup quarter-finals over the weekend.
