Lloyd Harris - ATP
South Africa’s Lloyd Harris has been knocked out of the Rogers Cup (National Bank Open) being played in Toronto.
The world number 36, Reilly Opelka, from the USA needed 2 hours and 45 minutes to beat the 24-year-old South African 4-6, 7-6 and 7-6.
The American used his far stronger service game to good use, especially in the two tie-breakers. Both players served 21 aces in the game.
Opelka goes on to face the 10th seeded Roberto Bautista Agut in the quarter-finals. Bautista Agut in his turn advanced by beating Argentina's Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 3-6 and 7-5.
