The first two sets were close, but Harris was quicker in the last two. He managed 36 aces during the match. In the quarter-finals, the South African will need to have the same success on serve if he wants to reach the last four. Harris will be up against the excellent German Alexander Zverev. The 2020 Olympic champion defeated Jannik Sinner in the last eight.
