Charles Broom on Wawrinka defeat

Charles Broom was swept away by Stan Wawrinka as the Swiss celebrated their first success of the week over England.

The St Albans battler, 26, went down 6-3 7-5 6-4 to the three-time Grand Slam champion on No.2 Court.

Yet Broom will be kicking himself for squandering four set points in the second set on his Wimbledon debut.

Wawrinka, who hails from Lausanne, moved into the second round at the ripe old age of 39.

And he will hope this is a good omen for his national team ahead of the Euros quarter-final with the Three Lions on Saturday.

Broom said: “I’m a little bit disappointed but honestly just an immense sense of pride to be able to play here and push him pretty close.

“I had a lot of friends there. A couple of mates flew over from the US. One was wearing an ‘I love Charlie Broom’ shirt. I was, like: ‘Mate, you have to take that one off.’

“The support from everyone was just amazing.”

Brit Broady falls to Botic

Wildcard Liam Broady has lost in four sets to Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp over on No2 Court.

The popular Mancunian, 30, has had a torrid time with injuries this year.

Having returned from a four-month lay-off in Eastbourne last week, he fell 6-2 4-6 6-3 6-2 in round one of Wimbledon.

Emma Raducanu and Lily Miyazaki remain the only British winners so far today.

Britain’s has another winner!

Mere minutes after Emma Raducanu became the first British winner of Wimbledon 2024, Lily Miyazaki became the second!

The wildcard, 28, trounced Tamara Korpatsch 6-2 6-1 over on Court 16 to book her place in round two.

Her reward will be a battle with Eastbourne winner Daria Kasatkina, which will surely be given big billing on Wednesday.

Nervous Emma

Emma Raducanu – who trained in her England top yesterday – admitted she felt nervous stepping back on to Centre Court… just hours after the Three Lions’ nail-biting win over Slovakia at Euro 2024.

The camera then cut to former national team skipper David Beckham who cannot suppress a beaming smile.

GAME, SET AND MATCH, RADUCANU – Raducanu 7-6 6-3 Zarazua

Raducanu has Zazarua on the run and the fatigue sets in when the Mexican finds the net. 15-0.

Placement over power with that T serve, setting up the point nicely. 30-0.

CENTRE COURT ERUPTS!

WOW! More slices than a chain of your local Domino’s before Emma chases down a drop shot and flicks it superbly across – what a pick-up, what a point.

Three more match points…

And Zarazua goes long and it’s all over.

A win, finally a win, for a Brit at the 2024 Championships. And what a win it was.

Raducanu will be delighted with that performance, just four minutes shy of two hours.
