Draper's breakthrough fortnight ended by Paul at Queen's

Harris has spent most of his career in the tiers below ATP level, having previously travelled to tournaments in a Ford Transit van, and was ranked outside the top 300 as recently as October.

He will now make his Grand Slam debut this summer after being given a wildcard for the main draw at Wimbledon, which starts on 1 July.

The 29-year-old from the Isle of Man is guaranteed 60,000 for playing his first-round match at Wimbledon, along with his 121,000 prize money from reaching the Queen's last eight.

"It's definitely going to help - it's expensive getting around in this sport so any money you can get is a massive help," he said.

"Will I treat myself? A new van, maybe, potentially. I drive a Mini Cooper at the moment.

"It's a bit tight, I get in and out of a van a bit easier."

Harris put in a strong second set in particular against Musetti, having being broken in his first service game of the match.

He put the world number 30 under more pressure in the second but, after saving a break point at 2-2, Harris dropped serve at 5-5 and Musetti served out the win on his first match point.

"I am a little bit emotional," said Musetti, who reached the semi-finals of the Stuttgart Open last week.

"It was a really tough year for me, a lot of things have changed - a lot of downs and not many ups.

"These last two weeks have been amazing."
