Ten out of 10 is a great statistic, unless the 10 are losers. British tennis endured its worst day at Wimbledon this century as all 10 Britons who completed their matches were beaten. And it might have been 11 had the light not faded on Jack Pinnington Jones, who trails Brandon Nakashima by two sets and 4-3.
Big runs by Emma Raducanu at Queen’s and Jack Draper in Eastbourne had raised hopes of a strong British showing here this year but, as Draper joined Raducanu in pulling out through injury on Monday, one after another slipped to defeat.
