British wild card Lily Miyazaki reached the second round at Wimbledon for the first time after crushing Tamara Korpatsch.
The Tokyo-born 28-year-old more than doubled her prize money for the year, earning £93,000 for less than an hour’s work.
Miyazaki served superbly, dropping just seven points with the ball in her hand and not facing a single break point.
She also hit 14 winners to Korpatsch’s three and made just 15 unforced errors in comparison to the German’s 26.
A comprehensive 6-2 6-1 win over the world number 73 secured a second-round meeting with 14th seed Daria Kasatkina on Wednesday.
