It will be the second consecutive tournament in which Lloyd Harris will square off against Nadal with the South African having beaten his Spanish foe 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in their third round encounter in Washington last week.
Lloyd Harris went on to lose 6-3, 7-5 to Japan’s Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals in Washington, but his run into the last eight was enough to move up one spot to 49th in the ATP rankings.
