Future Tennis Stars

Ryan Harrison joined an elite club on Monday when he beat Pablo Cuevas 6-4, 6-3 in the first round at the US Clay Court Championship in Houston.

Harrison, who will turn 16 on May 7th, became the 10th youngest player to win a main draw match on the ATP Tour. Richard Gasquet was 18 days older than Harrison when he won his first match in Monte Carlo in 2002.

Harrison is currently ranked 8th in the ITF world junior rankings and 1,277 on the ATP rankings. He is expected to move up to at least 704 when the new rankings are released next Monday.

Others winning on Monday are Donald Young and Wayne Odesnik.

With Dubai going on, you would think that Las Vegas would have a bad draw. They do have some great players with Marcos Baghdatis, Lleyton Hewitt and Robin Soderling entered. Hewitt opens against Marat Safin.
