Laura Robson stormed into the second round with a fantastic display to shock tenth seed Maria Kirilenko in straight sets at Wimbledon.
Meanwhile, British number two Heather Watson crashed out in a 6-3, 7-5 straight sets defeat to American teenager Madison Keys.
Watson, world ranked 56, responded well after losing the first set, breaking Keys early in the second, but missed three other chances to hit back and succumbed to the 18-year-old’s big serve.
Last year Watson became the first British woman to win on Centre Court since 1985, making the third round before being beaten by third seed Victoria Azarenka.
But the 21-year-old came into this year’s Championships after missing ten weeks because of glandular fever, which she admitted has taken its toll on preparations.
“It’s very difficult. It’s one of those things where you just don’t know and you don’t have medicine and I think that is the worst thing about it,” she said.
“I’m glad I was in it and had my chances. I wasn’t just wiped off the court. It was disappointing being up a break in the second and not being able to go from there.
“I still didn’t feel like I was where I want to be. But it’s coming and the next few weeks I’ll be training hard.”
British wildcard and world number 194 Tara Moore will hope to cause an upset against Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi, and join Murray and Robson in the second round, when they close out play on court 17 later today.
