The WTA 125 series tournament is underway in Ilkley, Great Britain, with South Africa's number one, Lloyd Harris, among the participants. Unfortunately for his fans, Harris's campaign came to an abrupt end.
Details: After a convincing 2-0 win over France's Ugo Blanchet in the opening round, Harris suffered a defeat by the same scoreline to Spain's Martin Landaluce, ranked 146th in the world.
In the first set, South Africa's top-ranked player still tried to put up a fight against his more prominent opponent, but in the second set he completely collapsed, failing to win a single game. As a result, it is Landaluce who will advance to the third round, where he will face the winner of the all-British clash between Jack Johnson Pinnington and another Harris, this time Billy.
Reminder: The 28-year-old has Grand Slam experience this season, notably making it through Roland Garros qualifying, but lost in the first round to Andrey Rublev.
