Ryan Harrison | The Golden Bat |

Before turning 16, Harrison was regarded a prodigy after cracking the top 10 in the junior rankings and becoming one of the youngest players ever to win an ATP match. Although he broke through onto the ATP level by the age of 20, Harrison then fell out of the top 100 for several years. He since returned to the top 100 in 2016 after a strong second half of the season that included multiple wins over opponents ranked in the top 20 and his first career appearance in the round of 32 at a Grand Slam. Harrison built on that momentum in 2017 to reach a new career high ranking in singles after playing in his first two finals at the ATP level and winning his first career ATP title.

Harrison won his first match at the Australian Open over Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 6–3, 6–4, 6–2, marking the first time he made the second round at the tournament since 2013.^[12] He then fell in straight sets to Tomáš Berdych.

Harrison, who has a reputation in the profession for vocal aggression and abrasiveness, often incurring criticism from opponents and tournament officials. repeatedly denied that he had made a racial comment towards Young during their first-round match, and after a brief investigation, the Association of Tennis Professionals found no evidence that racist comments had been made.^[13][14]

Harrison reached the final of the RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas and defeated Taylor Fritz in straight sets, winning his fourth Challenger title.^[15] In his next tournament, Harrison followed up on that success by reaching both the singles and doubles finals at the Memphis Open. This was his first singles final, having lost in the semifinals on seven previous occasions. Although he would lose the doubles final with Steve Johnson, Harrison defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili in the singles final to win his first career title. Between his back-to-back titles at the RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas and the Memphis Open, he did not drop a set at either tournament.

At the French Open, Harrison teamed with Michael Venus to win the men's doubles title.

In July, Harrison reached the final of the Atlanta Open, losing to John Isner.
