Cape Town - South Africa's Lloyd Harris bagged an impressive win in the first round of the Adelaide International on Monday.

Harris, who came through qualifying at the ATP 250 event, defeated Chile's world No 33 Christian Garin 7-6 (7/5), 3-6, 6-4 in the first round.

He will next face 39th-ranked Serbian Laslo Djere in the round of 16.
