Excellent strike right from the boys. All the 'big three' taking 3 sets could be slightly worring, but winning is all that matters at the end of the day. You don't get many easy draws at this level.

Some of tomorrow's match-ups are quite impressive. All three of the GB highest have interesting ones: Broady-Bourgue, Golding-Kubler, Morgan-Berman. Should be quite a day.

A report on Oli's match courtesy of the Wimbledon website:

The 17-year-old, from Twickenham, south west London, is seeded fourth this year but was always likely to have a tricky opener against Aslan Karatsev, who was a semi-finalist at the Wimbledon warm-up event at Roehampton.
With that recent experience on grass - his favourite surface - behind him, 17-year-old Karatsev had every reason to fancy his chances of upsetting the odds against the world junior No.4. He immediately showed he was not intimidated by the large crowd supporting the home favourite, winning the first game effortlessly on his serve.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the court, Golding appeared to be feeling the weight of the nation on his shoulders. He started poorly, putting a dreadfully low 32% of his first serves into play in the first set. His body language and occassional outbursts suggested he was not yet at the races.

Karatsev earned the only break of the set and kept cool to serve it out, while a frustrated Golding threw his racquet to the ground.

In the second set, the Russian proved that not only could he back up his impressive serving with equally impressive returns and a huge forehand, but that he had the ability to find an escape route when put under pressure. Whenever it was needed he found a decent first serve or winner to match Golding blow-for-blow as the Briton began to hit form.

But just as the Russian looked to be on the verge of victory - going 2-0 ahead in the tiebreak - Golding found another gear and the odd touch of luck to take the breaker 7-3..

The inspired tennis that really made Golding's name last year had returned. He built on the momentum and broke in the first game of the third set. Solid serving from the Twickenham boy then ensured him of his place in the second round.

Golding said afterwards: "It was not my best match but first rounds are never easy. It's my favourite surface and I've got great memories of last year so hopefully I can get a good run for this year. The first set got away from me quickly and I made hardly any first serves. He played really well throughout and I only broke him once [in the third] after he made a couple of errors. I knew that if I could hang in there then at some point he would give me a chance."
