Tarvet was cheered on by his coaches, family and girlfriend Helaena Staebler from his player's box.
Helaena, 20, caught the eye from the stands in a stunning low-cut blue dress.
Tarvet, who is making his Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon, plays college tennis for the University of San Diego.
It was there where he met brunette beauty Helaena and they have been together for a year.
St Albans-born Tarvet is a communications major when he is not on the court and his partner from California studies biology.
The couple shared a kiss after he won his first-round match on Monday, beating Leandro Reidi in straight sets.
Tarvet won three matches in qualifying to make the main draw.
He has already banked £99,000 by making the second round at SW19.

But due to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules, Tarvet is not allowed to take winnings from competitions outside of the college set-up.
However, his coach Ryan Keckley says he is able to claim plenty of his prize money in 'actual necessary expenses over the course of a calendar year'.
The odds are stacked against Tarvet versus two-time Wimbledon winner Alcaraz.
But it is a challenge he is relishing, according to girlfriend Helaena, who said: "I've always believed in him - it's just what you've got to do.
"I have no words, I haven't even been able to process this.
"It's gonna be amazing, I'm very excited, I'm sure he's very excited as well."

Assistant coach Jeetan Patel admits 151 overs in field had taken toll on England
England were left nursing 'tired minds and tired bodies' after India left them with a mountain to climb on the second day at Edgbaston. Captain Shubman Gill ground down the hosts with a superb 269, occupying the crease for eight and a half hours as he guided his side to a formidable score of 587. That is the most England have conceded since Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum took over the team three years ago and they were creaking at the end of 151 overs in the field. The strain showed as India picked off their top three in eight overs with the new ball, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope dismissed for ducks off successive deliveries from Akash Deep as they finished 510 adrift on 77 for three. 'Spending 151 overs in the dirt in any scenario is pretty tough. There's some tired minds and tired bodies,' said assistant coach Jeetan Patel. 'You put in that much effort and it's not just physical, it's mental as well. Credit to Shubman for the way he's batted over two days, it was a masterclass in how to bat on a good wicket. The guys threw everything at them, and rightly so, but they're very tired for their efforts. 'They'll get a good night's rest tonight.' Brydon Carse was down on pace and amid concerns that the toe problems that forced him to withdraw from the Champions Trophy earlier this year had resurfaced, with Patel hinting that he would now be rested for next week's third Test at Lord's. First, though, there are three hard days ahead. A draw would be the likeliest route to preserving England's 1-0 lead but that option is anathema to Stokes' side, who have upset cricketing logic on three different occasions to win after conceding over 500. Asked if England still felt they can turn things around, Patel said: 'One hundred per cent, I've said this many a time and (people) keep laughing at me. 'We will find another way of trying to get over the line. That's the beauty of the team we have, the players we have and the belief they have. There is lots of cricket to go on a fast-scoring ground and you never know what can happen.' England's commitment to the positive approach is understandable given they chased down a lofty target of 371 to win the series opener but India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja had a sharp response. 'In cricket, in press conferences, you can talk whatever you want to talk,' he said. 'It's none of my business, but at the end of the day you have to go out and perform and take those 20 wickets. That's all that matters.'

Savvy mum shows off Minecraft bedroom & blows everyone away – as £8 of paint looks as good as £247 pro wallpaper
A SAVVY mum saved herself hundreds of pounds after creating a bespoke Minecraft bedroom for her son. Elizabeth Doherty wanted to give her son's bedroom a revamp while keeping the costs down. 2 2 The mum's son is obsessed with Minecraft and she wanted to give him a bedroom he'd love.

Using some leftover paint she had at home and a pencil she created a Minecraft masterpiece and shared it on social media. "My wee boy wanted a Minecraft room and I couldn't find <inecraft wallpaper so I tried to paint a wall," she wrote. She first painted half of the wall blue to represent the sky, adding some white squares to look like the clouds in Minecraft. Once done, she stencilled the Minecraft logo on to the middle of the wall and used grey and black paint to create a shadow effect. For the bottom of the wall, she used a mix of green and brown paints to recreate the cubes of earth and grass found in the game. But instead of forking out for ten different paints, she decided to use tester pots to save cash. She added: "For anyone wanting to have a go themselves, I used Johnstone paint tester pots from B&M for the bottom as it was cheaper than buying whole tins. "And I used old paint I already had for the top (it is DIY on a budget after all)."

Shubman Gill shines and shatters records as India make England toil at Edgbaston
At tea on Thursday evening Gill was in his element on 265 not out, not just a career-best knock but also the highest ever score by an Indian batter on English soil and the most by an India captain. Having assumed the fabled number four slot once held by the great Sachin Tendulkar and most recently by fellow A-lister Virat Kohli, Gill removed any question marks about his ability to shoulder the burden of expectation. It's Tea on Day 2 of the 2nd Test! #TeamIndia power along to 564/7, with captain Shubman Gill marching to 2⃣6⃣5⃣ 👌 👌 Third session of the Day to begin 🔜 Updates ▶️ | @ShubmanGill — BCCI (@BCCI) July 3, 2025 It was a torrid day for Ben Stokes' men, put in to field by their skipper in attempt to recreate the pattern of last week's win at Headingley. By tea they had shipped 254 runs in return for two consolation wickets, Josh Tongue bouncing Ravindra Jadeja out for 89 just before lunch and part-time spinner Joe Root bowling Washington Sundar for 42 deep in the afternoon session. Both men played handy supporting roles to the exemplary Gill, who led stands of 203 and 144 in a princely performance. England have made a habit of pulling unlikely wins out of unpromising positions but their chances of changing the course of this Test already appear dim and distant with more than three full days to play. Gill started play with 114 already under his belt and was in no mood to give it away on a pitch that was playing straighter and truer by the moment. Ben Stokes took the new ball alongside Chris Woakes but neither man was able to summon any danger, an ominous warning about the run-fest that was about to unfold. Jadeja eased to his ninth fifty against England and Gill had soon surpassed the 147 he made in last week's series opener in Leeds. A steady trickle of boundaries gave the scoring rate a bump, Jadeja punching back-to-back fours off Stokes and Gill taking a liking to Brydon Carse after he entered the fray. With a wafer thin margin of error for the bowlers, Carse found himself driven hard when he strayed too full and pulled round the corner when he dug in short. England were keeping tabs on Jadeja's footwork, seemingly concerned about creating some additional rough for his own off-spin later in the game, but there was no formal intervention from the umpires. Their own spinner, Shoaib Bashir, was not finding much joy and found himself clattered for two sixes in an over as he experimented with changes in pace and a lesser spotted 'carrom ball'. Just when it seemed like England had nowhere to go, Tongue found just enough bounce to draw the error, Jadeja springing into evasive action and popping a catch to Jamie Smith. Sundar's nervy start against Tongue gave England false hope of wrapping the innings up and they soon realised he was in for a long stay. They became visibly weary in the middle session, which saw 145 added to the total and a handful of signs that they were losing grip. At one stage Root and Zak Crawley collided in an unsuccessful attempt to cut off one of Gill's 30 fours, part-timer Harry Brook served up five overs of inelegant medium-pace and a clearly fatigued Carse saw four byes skip through Smith's legs as he dragged one wearily down the leg side. Gill's 200 came in 311 balls and the data showed a false shot rating of just five per cent. His next 50 was the quickest of the lot, comprising just 37 balls. Root hit Sundar's off stump with a neat off-break but his stony-faced celebration told the story of the day.
