Which Brits are in action on Wednesday?

Of the 10 Brits in qualifying, seven went into the second round, including all four women entered.

Heather Watson was the most experienced of the bunch at 32 years old, having reached a career-high ranking of 38 back in 2015. But she lost in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4 to world number 101 Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Sonay Kartal, who reached the third round of Wimbledon earlier this summer - which included a win over 29th seed Sorana Cirstea - beat Simona Waltert of Switzerland in two sets, 6-3 6-2.

Lily Miyazaki, who came through qualifying last year, goes up against Kathinka von Deichmann from approximately 7pm, while Francesca Jones is on court from 10pm to take on Ena Shibahara.

In the men's qualifying, Billy Harris, Paul Jubb and Jan Choinski were left flying the flag in the second round of qualifying on Wednesday.

Jubb took Finland's Otto Virtanen three sets, but was ultimately defeated 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 3-6.

Jubb had earned a first top-20 win when defeating Ben Shelton at the Mallorca Championships on his way to a first ATP semi-final appearance.

Harris will face Bolivian world number 106 Murkel Dellien in round two from approximately 9pm. Choinski is up against Valentin Vacherot from around 10pm.

How have the other Brits fared so far?

In the men's qualifying there was disappointment for Oliver Crawford, who was beaten 6-4 6-4 by American JJ Wolf.

Liam Broady suffered a disappointing first-round exit, losing in straight sets 7-5 7-6 (9-7) to Virtanen.

It means that there would not be a second all-British tie in qualifying after Jubb beat countryman Jacob Fearnley 6-1 7-6 (7-2) to set up his meeting with Virtanen on Wednesday.

Both Jubb and Fearnley impressed during the grass-court season this summer, with the latter winning his first ATP Challenger title at the Nottingham Open before taking a set off Novak Djokovic when reaching the second round of Wimbledon.
