[glamgal7777]

[Ogster777]

big dreams...........

[1hbackhand]

He's a very talented kid. Also he would win against every comment writer here. ;P

[tennismanclay07]

I remember him winning (i think) a 12s national tournament down in Louisiana. He was 9 or 10. Remember watching him play, and now look at him. crazy.

[welchburger]

and now he's in the us open

[lFearsome]

So cocky and not even that gd

[lFearsome]

So cocky and not even that gd

[Bayernfan1310]

In my opinion , this kid sucks and everyobody thinks he is sooooooo amzing . But then if u see him he really is nt that good!!! well i'm better than you !!! FUCK On being number one christian

[TheListhename]

@Bayernfan1310 haha no way you're as good as this kid.

[zahkara]

grigor dimitrov is really amazing. the problem is that he has to fight to get in any big tournament( he is bulgarian and there are no big tournametns there) yes i am also bulgarain

[in0n0myname]

ok no matter wat backhand it is it still works its fine if he can hit it people

[kaidosempai]

man this kids put me to shame.

[mrbobevans]

Christian needs to switch to a one-handed backhand. He is a natural one-hander. Unfortunately, they are with the Bolletieri camp who will not make that change.

[aod2k9]

@mrbobevans Actually he is naturally a two handed player...His 2 handed backhand is actually his strength.

His forehand is loopy.

[mrbobevans]

Who do you think will be the better player, Christian or Ryan?

I still believe he should switch to a one-hander.

[aod2k9]

Christian is probably the better player. Bigger career for Christian too.

[mrbobevans]

Agree about Christian being the better prospect. He still should be a one-hander. Players should switch to a one-hander around 11-14 yrs of age. My son is little but has really good hands. He is 10 - I have told him that he will switch to the one-hander next year. He seems OK with that.

Have you seen Grigor Dimitrov. The guy is so similar to Fed. His one-hander is awesome. He is going to be incredible.

Do the Harrisons play any other sports like soccer?

Important to play other sports.

[tennismanclay07]

@mrbobevans

I highly doubt they play other sports, why would that be important?

[mrbobevans]

@tennismanclay07 It makes a big difference. Borg played hockey as a kid. Rafa, Fed and McEnroe played soccer. In fact, Rafa had enough talent to play pro soccer. I remember watching Marty Riessen, who is now in his 60's, play in my hometown. He played college basketball. Playing one or more other sports is very important. I encourage both of my two sons to play soccer. Soccer and basketball seem to be the best sports with tennis.

[aod2k9]

Nope he isn't a natural 1 hander. Ever since he started playing, he hit a 2 handed backhand.

[gabz1997]

he is amazing :P

[applenewton00]

He has talent for the game. Nice setup off the backhand wing. Well balanced as well. I found a kid that has a very nice forehand. She hit the ball well for 11 yrs old. watch?v=lxTawzpVK2A

[babolat97]

He played with him?

[russianman2194]

my friend beat him

[liampimp12341234]

[sullmister]

[Azwar3]

How can u judge from this video???

[rubix0110]

He looks soooo much like Ryan. Play style isn't much different either.

[mattread95]

he is ssoo aragant he is gunna b such a dick head when he grows up]

[stopkitten]

hes actually really nice ive hit with him before

[socoolits2cool]

His brother played in a professional tennis tournament in my hometown and I walked up to his little brother (Christian Harrison) and started talking to him. He was actually a really cool kid. At the time I didnt know he was some kind of tennis prodigy, until I looked him up later on in the week.

[tnniskid123]

I saw him play at U.S Open Juniors

[Tx4buffs]

my brothers play tennis with him

[Tx4buffs]

[USpong]

[AcousticTennis]

[POYBOY10]

TWITCH

[poopi111]

dude i lost 0 and 2 to him at easterbowl lol then he goes on tv

[HELLSACOOLTODD]

stfu poser

[freckledguy251]

your a wierdo cuz everything that he said is true

[jmahrky]

i can just see the harrison boys take on the two younger djokovics in the future.

[sweetlikepepper]

I played this kid like 5 years ago at a southern bullfrog he was 8 and he was the one seed and he put a beat down on me

[connortpurcell]

He needs to learn how to transfer his weight on his backhand. As u see at 0:54 he is stepping across and that limits hip rotation which impeads on your ability to transfer your weight in a linear motion which is esential for the two-handed backhand.

[claretlad4eva]

26SECONDS?????????? COCK

[azbc13]

He knows that

[nellychess]

You're a moron

[wangsta25]

Its his style, everyone has different strokes. Not everyone has to be textbook. Just look at Roddick's serve, ugly as hell in my opinion but extremely reliable.

[afenn123]

christian beat sock

[tennisgeek3]

bull shit when did he beat sock sock's 3 in the sixteens in the nation, harrisons like 10 in the fourteens there is no way

[kingofhell92]

dude this kid is friggin amazing. i watched (and played with) him and his brother at newks. they're both amazing players. they kicked my ass pretty good =P

[ustaplayer10]

idk if you guys know but hes like u14s and he plays 16 and 18 nationals and internationally.

[tennisgeek3]

jack sock is better

[brado32003]

True that, sock is better.

[pharris3214]

kid just looking at the videos you seem good id like 2 play u sometime what raquet do you use

[laytonrocky]

he uses the experimental babolat

[inca100]

lol not true i was at newks and it was the aero storm before it came out he had some that were not painted and some that were...

[tennisbaby1]

My sister is in their academy and actually knows them. According to the people in the Ranch, Christian is actually a little better than Ryan at his age. But thats all just speculation.

[Mannbbearpigg]

hes the fastest kid alive, wait till u see him play, for his age hes incredible, hes gona b better than his brother tho if u watch them play next to each other

[Scrubsobsession]

ryan's younger brother
