		</div><p>Lloyd Harris may still have never won a match on grass, but he will always be able to say he claimed the first set he played at Wimbledon on Centre Court, against Roger Federer.</p>
<p>The little-known South African briefly threatened a major shock on his maiden appearance at the All England Club.</p>
<p>It was only the second time anyone had taken a set off Federer in a first-round match in his last 17 Wimbledon appearances.</p>
<p>However, the eight-time champion recovered from that early blip with Harris winning just five more games in the match.</p>

<p>Bidding to become the second player in history to win nine <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wimbledon?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Wimbledon</a> titles, <a href="https://twitter.com/rogerfederer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@rogerfederer</a> books his ticket into the second round by beating Lloyd Harris <a href="https://t.co/RzAJ5MYGfJ">pic.twitter.com/RzAJ5MYGfJ</a></p>

<p>The 22-year-old, ranked 86 in the world, needed a medical time-out after the third set and had his calf heavily strapped.</p>
<p>Playing Federer is hard enough at the best of times, but Harris gamely carried on despite some obvious discomfort.</p>
<p>However, Federer had the finish line in sight and wrapped up a 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-2 victory.</p>
<p>The Swiss 20-time grand slam winner will play Britain’s Jay Clarke in round two.</p>
