“I just tried to fight and compete and hope she missed. I am thrilled.
“This court is the epitome of every British child’s dreams of playing on and winning on. It’s a dream come true. I saw the schedule and I was so excited. I felt like a little girl again.”;
Boulter’s victory completed a nightmare day for tennis power couple “Tsitsidosa”; - Badosa and boyfriend .
Earlier in the day, down two sets to French qualifier Valentin Royer.
The Greek called it a day trailing 6-3 6-2, having got the trainer out in the second set.
Following his disappointing defeat, Tsitsipas revealed: “It’s probably the most difficult situation that I’ve ever been faced with, because it’s an ongoing issue that doesn’t seem to be disappearing or fading off as much.
“Myself, as a person, I have a limit at some point, so I’ll definitely have to have my final answer on whether I want to do stuff or not in the next couple of months.
“This is going to be hard, but if I see it going in that trajectory, there is no point at competing.
“If I’m not healthy, and I’ve talked about health so many times, if health is not there, then your whole tennis life becomes miserable.”;
Harriet Dart was knocked out of Wimbledon in the first round as she lost 3-6 6-3 7-5 to Dalma Galfi.
Her Hungarian opponent was ranked 42 places above her, in 110th, so the favourite to win, but Dart was left disappointed by a defeat in which she had taken the first set 6-3 on Court 17.
Dart, a wildcard, made only 47 per cent of her first serves throughout the match, with the 28-year-old unable to repeat her run to last year’s Wimbledon third round.
