However, Mmoh has shown some good form in qualifiers. The American player qualified for the main draws in his home events in Delray Beach and Dallas. In the main draw, he could not go past the second round. He lost to Casper Ruud 1-6, 4-6 in Dallas and had to retire in his match against Alex Michelsen at Delray Beach.
On the other hand, Harris did not have a great start to the 2025 season, losing all three singles matches at the United Cup. He lost in the final qualifying round at the Australian Open and both singles matches at the Davis Cup, which were in Great Britain's tie against Japan.
However, Harris had a good phase in India, where he had decent results in Challenger events. He reached the semifinals at the Chennai Challenger, losing 6-7 (5), 6-7 (2) against Michael Ymer. He then reached the final of the New Delhi Challenger, where he lost 4-6, 2-6 against Kyrian Jacquet. He also had a decent run at the Bengaluru Challenger, reaching the semifinal as a qualifier.

Michael Mmoh vs Billy Harris prediction
Micahel Mmoh has yet to put in any meaningful performance on the ATP Tour. The American player has a decent record on the Challenger Tour, winning seven hard-court titles. However, the last home final came in 2023, and the last title was in 2022. He does not have a good record in Indian Wells as he has yet to qualify for the main draw here.
Harris has just started on the Tour, and the Brit has not won any titles on the Main Tour or the Challenger Tour. He has won five titles on the ITF circuit, two of which have come on the hard courts.
Harris is the seeded player and is coming into this match on the back of a hot streak of performances at the Challenger level. The Brit will be the favorite to move on to the next round of qualifying.
Pick: Harris to win in straight sets.
