Britain's challenging start to Wimbledon continued as Katie Boulter became the 11th British player to exit in the first round, succumbing to teen debutant Tyra Caterina Grant in a 6-4, 6-2 defeat.
While Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper were sidelined due to injuries, 19 British players still participated in the first round. By Tuesday, only a handful remained, after numerous eliminations including those of Jack Pinnington Jones and Harry Wendelken.
