Lloyd Harris, born on February 24, 1997, in Cape Town, South Africa, discovered his love for tennis at age 3. Despite dabbling in rugby and cricket during his teenage years, his passion for tennis remained strong. At 21, Lloyd entered the ATP top 100, becoming the fourth South African player to achieve this milestone in 15 years. His breakthrough in 2021 included his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the US Open and an ATP 500 final in Dubai, propelling him to a career-high ranking of No. 31. After a wrist injury in 2022 and successful surgery, he made a strong comeback in 2023, re-entering the top 150. In 2024, he continued his resurgence by winning two ATP Challenger tournaments. As a standout from the Anthony Harris Academy and the MATCH Foundation, Lloyd not only excels on the court but also mentors young players, contributing to the growth of tennis in South Africa.
