Ryan Harrison (born May 7, 1992) is an American professional tennis player. Harrison has won one career ATP title, his lone victory so far coming at the 2017 Memphis Open. He is currently the 5th-highest ranked American in men's singles.
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 has since returned to the Top 100 in 2016 after a strong second half of the season that included multiple wins over opponents ranked inside the Top 20 and his first career appearance in the Round of 32 at a grand slam.
Harrison began playing tennis at age 2 and was coached by his father, Pat Harrison, who had a brief career as a professional, playing predominantly Challenger and Futures events. Harrison is an alumnus of IMG Academy and is currently coached by Jay Berger and Brad Gilbert, former coach to Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and Andy Murray. He is currently signed with IMG Academy. In addition, Andy Roddick is helping Ryan Harrison with his game.
Harrison has a younger brother, Christian, who currently plays tennis on the ITF juniors circuit. Christian joined Ryan to play doubles together at the 2012 US Open, where they reached the quarterfinals. He also has a younger sister, Madison Harrison, who currently plays at Mississippi State University. On March 5, 2016, Harrison announced his engagement to Lauren McHale, sister of the tennis player Christina McHale.
As a junior Harrison compiled a 60–24 win/loss record in singles, reaching as high as No. 7 in the world (achieved in April 2008).
