Lloyd Harris vs Jack Kennedy prediction

Expect Huntington, New York native Jack Kennedy to be afforded a rousing reception by the fans in Queens as he looks to pick up what would be the biggest win of his singles career. Lloyd Harris is out to spoil the party, having already worked incredibly hard to reach this stage, coming through three tough rounds of qualification matches.

Harris is a fighter and showed that across qualifying, whilst his 18-year-old opponent is one of the more exciting young players just coming onto the singles circuit. Kennedy won the US Open boys junior doubles title last year, so he won’t be phased on the court and by the environment. With the home crowd giving him that extra dose of energy, Kennedy may just do enough to edge past Harris in what would be the biggest victory of his career.
