South Africa's leading men's singles player, Lloyd Harris, has been knocked out of the San Diego Open during round 16 of the ATP250 event in California.
The 24-year-old Harris was beaten in three sets by Argentina's Diego Schwartzman.
Harris took the first set 6-4, before world number 15 and 6th seed Schwartzman won the next two.
Schwartzman sealed the match with a 4-6, 6-3 and 6-2 win.
Harris who normally boasts with a very effective and accurate service game struggled against the Argentine, with only 72% wins on the first serve. He served just nine aces and three double faults.
Meanwhile, yesterday Kevin Anderson was beat in straight sets by England's Dan Evans during the round of 32.
The 8th seeded Evans beat Anderson 7-6, 7-5.
