Harris was due to face Australia’s Alex de Minaur in the opening round, but was replaced by Alexei Popyrin – who went on to beat his compatriot 6-0, 6-3.

Meanwhile, fellow South African Kevin Anderson failed to make the main draw having lost 6-7 (13/15), 6-2, 6-7 (1/7) to Hugo Gaston in qualifying.
