The sixth-ranked Tsonga found it tough at times against the 19-year old American, who was playing in his first meaningful Davis Cup match. Harrison’s big forehands and aggressive shot-making forced Tsonga to hurry shots as he tried to shorten the rallies early on.
Tsonga broke Harrison in the 12th game to take a laborious opening set in 54 minutes, then began to find his range as Harrison’s temper frayed.
Captain Jim Courier spoke with Harrison for smashing his racket into the ground, after his double fault gave Tsonga a 3-1 lead in the second set.
Gilles Simon next plays John Isner.
