Ryan Harrison (born May 7, 1992, in Shreveport, Louisiana) is an American tennis player.

Tennis career

Won an ATP Tour match at age 15

Harrison is notable for being the third youngest player since 1990, after Richard Gasquet and Rafael Nadal, to have won an ATP level match, defeating world #130 Pablo Cuevas in the 2008 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships. Entering the tournament as a qualifier ranked #1000, he was only the tenth player in the history of the ATP Tour to have have won a match before turning 16.

On the junior circuit, Harrison's highest ranking position has been world number 7, which he achieved in April 2008. He reached the semi-finals of the junior competition at the 2008 Australian Open.

Harrison began playing tennis aged 2, and is coached by his father, Pat Harrison, who had a brief career as a professional, playing predominantly Challenger and Futures events.

Harrison has a younger brother, Christian, who currently plays tennis on the ITF juniors circuit.

Harrison is currently signed with IMG Academies.
