South Africa's Lloyd Harris received an immense confidence boost for Wimbledon after memorably claiming the doubles title at the Mallorca ATP 250 tournament with partner Yuki Bhambri.

The duo were ruthless in a 6-3, 6-4 demolition of opponents Robin Haase and Philipp Oswald in the showpiece match.

An indication of their dominance was the fact that the encounter only lasted 65 minutes.

Harris will now be even more keen to build on that momentum when he commences his Grand Slam run in London on Monday, where he'll face France's Gregoire Barrere.

That mission won't be an easy one as his counterpart is a highly accomplished player, boasting a world ranking of 57th.
