British wild card Billy Harris, who was ranked outside the top 300 just eight months ago, has made a significant breakthrough at the Queen's Club Championships, an ATP 500 event. Harris defeated Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4, 7-5 in front of the home crowd to reach his first ATP quarter-final. This victory marks his eighth win against a top 100 player and propels him inside the top 140 in the world rankings. However, Harris's impressive run came to an end in the quarter-finals, where he was defeated by Lorenzo Musetti 6-3, 7-5. Musetti, who has been performing well on grass courts, advances to the semi-finals, marking his second consecutive semi-final appearance after Stuttgart.
