Tennis: Harrison wins battle of wildcards

American Ryan Harrison has beaten fellow wildcard and countryman Sam Querrey 6-4 6-3 in a first-round Heineken Open match in Auckland today.

Harrison, ranked 79th in the world, looked sharp in the match which lasted only 70 minutes.

Querrey, a former top 20 player, now ranked 93rd due to an elbow injury last year, saved three match points in his final service game, but Harrison quickly sealed it to love on his serve.
