Day two: British women in action on second day of qualifying
Former mixed doubles Wimbledon champion Heather Watson and up-and-comer Esther Adeshina booked their spot in the second round of qualifying today.
Adeshina was the first British woman to book her place in the next round. The 24-year-old battled through three sets to beat eighth seed Moyuka Uchijima 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 in just under two hours for the biggest win of her career.
Former British No.1 Watson kicked off her main draw campaign with a win against world No. 110 Mayar Sherif - the Brit breezed into the next round 6-2, 6-2 in an hour and 21 minutes.
Elsewhere, first-round losses came for Lily Miyazaki, Katy Dunne, Ella McDonald, Daniella Britton and Amelia Rajecki.
It was a successful day out at Wimbledon qualifying for the Brits with Billy Harris, Dan Evans, Oliver Tarvet, Max Basing, Henry Searle and Paul Jubb all moving on to the next round.
Evans - who is retiring from professional tennis after this year's tournament at SW19 - came through a tight first set tie-break to beat Juan Carlos Prado Angelo 7-6(2), 6-3.
Harris secured a confident victory over Italy's Stefano Napolitano winning 6-2, 6-2 an hour and 16 minutes, while Tarvet also booked his place to the second round of qualifying after beating Australia's Alex Bolt 7-6(3), 7-5.
Former boys' singles champion Searle - who arrived at qualifying fresh off the back of winning the Dublin Challenger last weekend - continued his winning streak with a 6-3, 6-4 win over former world No.31 Zhizhen Zhang.
Jubb also battled through a tricky match against Pierre-Hugues Herbert, winning 7-5, 7-6(5) to progress to the next round.
Basing produced an impressive display against 10th seed Francesco Maestrelli - fighting back from a set down to win 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-4.
Losses came in for Oliver Crawford, Mark Ceban, Oliver Bonding, Liam Broady, Jay Clarke, Johannus Monday and Anton Matusevich.
