Perhaps Harvard Law School is looking like a good career option for Blake Strode after all.

The 23-year-old, who is ranked number 641 in tennis worldwide, hesitated to pursue a degree at HLS while he tried a career as a tennis pro. But he lost today, 7-5 and 7-5, to 148-ranked Ivan Dodig of Croatia, in the second U.S. Open qualifying round, reports Bloomberg.
