Wildcard Christian Harrison Knocked out of Cincy Qualies


By Chris Oddo
(August 11, 2012)—Christian Harrison, younger brother of World No. 59 Ryan Harrison, was defeated in the first round of qualifying by Alejandro Falla of Colombia, 6-3, 6-3 Saturday at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.

Harrison was also given a wildcard into Newport's qualifying draw last month, losing to Ricardo Mello of Brazil in three sets at the grass-court event.

According to Twitter reports, Christian's big brother Ryan was in attendance today, but he had to escape autograph-seekers first.


Christian, 18, is two years younger than Ryan.

Ernests Gulbis, Grigor Dimitrov, Michael Russell, Jack Sock and Igor Andreev all were sent packing after first round qualifying action today.

Top-seeded Jeremy Chardy, Fabio Fognini, David Goffin and Sergiy Stakhovsky advanced.

The final round of qualifying and the first round of the main draw will be played simultaneously on Sunday in Cincinnati.
