Doha, March 10 (QNA) - Lloyd Harris of South Africa eliminated Swiss Stan Wawrinka from the Qatar ExxonMobil Open on Tuesday. The South African qualifier withstood the power of Stan Wawrinka, the seventh seed and 2008 Doha finalist, in a 7-6(3), 6-7(6), 7-5 victory over two hours and 41 minutes for a place in the second round, atptour.com reported. "I don't have many words right now," said Harris. "Stan was my idol growing up, so just to play against him was incredible. I was as determined as I could be, really pumped to play. I am proud of how I fought back after losing the second set. I feel like I've done really in the past couple of months and I hope to keep the momentum going." Also, Daniel Evans saved 16 of 18 break points to beat France's Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 in two hours and 55 minutes.
