The two-time Grand Slam finalist, Anderson, served 19 aces as he was beaten in straight-sets by the 22-year-old from Sydney with a 6-3 and 7-6 defeat.

Meanwhile, South Africa’s leading men’s singles player, Lloyd Harris, will have a tough challenge on Tuesday afternoon as he attempts to beat Norway’s Casper Ruud for the first time in three meetings.

Most recently, Ruud, came from a set-down to beat Harris during the round of 32 at the Indian Wells Masters.

This centre court match is scheduled to get underway at 14:00.
