Jordan Thompson v Lloyd Harris Head to Head
While they have never faced off at the highest level, Thompson and Harris did meet on the Challenger circuit in 2018 and in that hard court tournament in Stockton, it was Harris who came out on top.

Thompson Coming off a Los Cabos Quarterfinal
After having started off poorly this season, Thompson seems to have finally found his rhythm. And he comes into the US Open Series on the back of that steady improvement in his results, which had earlier taken a dip following his quarterfinal appearance in the first tournament of the season.
Since that Great Ocean Road Open success, Thompson went on a run of 12 matches where he won just three of them.
It was the switch to grass that looked to have turned things around for the Aussie. After back to back second round exits at Stuttgart and Halle, Thompson then went on to make it to the third round at Wimbledon, but then came his best result for the season at Newport where he entered the semifinal.
Continuing from where he had left off, Thompson began well on the hard courts of Los Cabos, where he edged out in a third set tie-breaker before he could make it through to his second semifinal in a row.
The one thing he wouldn’t be short off here is confidence.

Harris Close to Career-Best
It was on the hard court surfaces of Dubai that Harris announced himself to the world earlier this year.
Starting out as a qualifier who needed to win a couple of rounds to make it to the main draw, Harris stunned Dominic Thiem on his way to the final where he lost to Aslan Karatsev in straight sets.
And while he hasn’t come close to recapturing that kind of form again, Harris hasn’t played in a hard court tournament again either. Because it on hard court surfaces has Harris truly blossomed in his career.
Compared to a win-loss ratio of 0.27 on clay and 0.4 on grass, Harris’ stats on hard courts read 39 wins to 29 defeats, a far better showing than anywhere else. And now, while he will be up against another player showing sparkle, Harris too will have oodles of confidence coming into this opener.
Thompson v Harris Prediction and Tip
This won’t be a straightforward match whichever way you look at it. Thompson, while not being a favourite, might edge through having played in a tournament on hard court before this.
Tip: Thompson to win: 11/10 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
