Harrison, ranked 789th in the world, got past
Italy's Gianluca Mager 7-6 (2), 6-4 to earn a semifinal date
against fourth-seeded Hubert Hurkacz of Poland. Hurkacz topped
Ecuador's Roberto Quiroz 6-4, 6-4.
Before this week, Harrison hadn't reached the main draw of an
ATP Tour event since 2018, when he appeared in two tournaments.
He lost in the first round at Wimbledon that year, then won a
match before falling in the second round at Newport, R.I. He has
since had eight surgeries, according to Tennis.com.
In the other half of the Delray Beach bracket, Sebastian Korda
won an all-American quarterfinal, upsetting second-seeded John
Isner 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. Korda will face off Tuesday with the winner
of the late Monday quarterfinal between eighth-seeded Frances
Tiafoe of the United States and Cameron Norrie of Great Britain.
Antalya Open
Eighth-seeded Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan came from behind to
claim the first set, then closed out top-seeded Matteo
Berrettini of Italy 7-6 (6), 6-4 in the quarterfinals at
Antalya, Turkey.
Berrettini failed to hold serve at 5-4 of the opening set,
allowing Bublik to pull even. In the tiebreaker, Bublik won four
consecutive points for a 6-4 lead, but he needed three set
points to prevail. Bublik earned the only service break of the
second set to grab a 3-2 lead. He staved off two break points in
the next game and eventually sealed the match.
Bublik's semifinal opponent will be France's Jeremy Chardy, who
eked out a 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (8) win over fifth-seeded Jan-Lennard
Struff of Germany. The other semifinal features second-seeded
David Goffin of Belgium, a 6-3, 6-2 victor over Italy's Stefano
Travaglia on Monday, and fourth-seeded Alex de Minaur of
Australia, a 6-2, 6-4 winner against sixth-seeded Nikoloz
Basilashvili of Georgia.
