Harmony Tan Facts
- Harmony had started playing tennis, with her brother, when she was 4 years old.
- Her hobbies/interests include surfing and playing the piano.
- In June 2022, at her first appearance in the main draw of the singles event at the Wimbledon Championships, ranked number 115 in the world, Harmony had upset 7-time champion, Serena Williams. The first-round match was decided in 3 sets with a super tiebreak (a super tiebreak is just like a regular tiebreaker in tennis, but played to 10 points instead of 7) with the score reading 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (10-7). The match, the longest of the tournament until then, lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes.
- When she defeated Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-3, 6-4 in the next round of the tournament, she had reached the 3rd round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.
- Due to the exhaustion caused by her grueling aforementioned match against Serena Williams, Harmony was forced to withdraw from the first round of the doubles event at that competition. This late withdrawal, only an hour before the match was scheduled, had irked her partner Tamara Korpatsch who publicly expressed her anger and disappointment at not being able to participate in what would have been her debut main-draw match in the doubles event of the Wimbledon Championships.
- She visits Biarritz, a city in the French Basque Country, a region lying on the west of the French department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, every summer. She is often joined by her coach and French former professional tennis player Nathalie Tauziat on these trips. Nathalie was the runner-up in the women’s singles event at the 1998 Wimbledon Championships and the runner-up in the women’s doubles event at the 2001 US Open.
