South Africa's top-ranked men's singles player, Lloyd Harris, is into the second round of the Dubai Championship in the United Arab Emirates.
The 24-year-old Harris came back from a set down to beat Australia's Christopher O'Connell 6-7, 6-4 and 6-1.
Harris dominated the match with an 81% win of the first serve while also serving seven aces.
Harris faces a daunting task in the second round on Tuesday when he faces the top-ranked Dominic Thiem from Austria.
The 2020 US Open champion, Thiem, enjoyed a first-round bye.
