Kevin Anderson and Lloyd Harris are South Africa’s hopefuls at this year’s Wimbledon tournament, which starts tomorrow
Last year, Anderson became the second South African to make it through to the men’s final – nearly 100 years after Brian Norton appeared in the 1921 final. Kevin Curran, who lost the 1985 final to a teenaged Boris Becker, played as an American that year.
Harris, who earlier in the year won his first match at a grand slam when he beat Lukáš Rosol in the first round of the French Open, has been drawn in the second seed against another player with South African ties, Roger Federer.
