[edit] Won an ATP Tour match at age 15

Harrison is notable for being the third youngest player since 1990, after Richard Gasquet and Rafael Nadal, to have won an ATP level match, defeating world #130 Pablo Cuevas in the 2008 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships. Entering the tournament as a qualifier ranked #1000, he was only the tenth player in the history of the ATP Tour to have have won a match before turning 16.^[1] Although the match was played on a clay court, Harrison considers his best surface to be grass.
