Katie Boulter rounds off record-breaking day at Wimbledon with stunning victory
The British number two sank Spanish ninth seed Paula Badosa 6-2 3-6 6-4 for only her fourth win over a top-10 player, and her first in more than a year. She said: 'I mean, it's certainly up there. Centre Court, Wimbledon, as a Brit, against a top-10 player, for me doesn't get that much better. Katie Boulter is through to the second round (Ben Whitley/PA) 'It is one of the reasons why I do play tennis, to win matches like that, and to have a go at the best in the world. I do feel like it is one of the best ones for sure in my career. 'I can't tell you it's the top one, because there's been a few, but it's definitely been top three.' It meant seven heaven for Britain with Boulter and six other home stars through to round two, the highest total in a single day in the open era. It was also sweet revenge for Boulter, who lost in three sets to Badosa in their only other meeting, at the French Open last year. The 28-year-old had to wait until the early evening to start her match after Carlos Alcaraz's four-and-a-half-hour marathon against Fabio Fognini. But she seemed determined not to hang around, racing away with the first set in just 31 minutes, before the majority of the crowd had returned to Centre Court. Badosa's timing had seemed way off, but just as she rediscovered her rhythm, Boulter's deserted her with three double faults from 30-15 gifting her opponent a break to level the match. Boulter fell a break down in the decider but hit straight back and then struck at 5-4, breaking to 15 to win in an hour and 54 minutes. Katie Boulter was the seventh British winner n Monday (Ben Whitley/PA) However, she revealed: 'I was bricking it completely. 'I've played a lot of matches recently where I started out great and kind of let it slip. I just tried to compete today and fight.' Boulter will face Argentinian lucky loser Solana Sierra in the second round on Wednesday.

Wimbledon briefing: Day one recap, Tuesday's order of play and match of the day
Tuesday will see British number one Jack Draper and reigning women's champion Barbora Krejcikova start their campaigns as temperatures are once again set to comfortably surpass 30 degrees Celsius. Here, the PA news agency looks back at Monday's action and previews what is to come on day two of the Championships. Magic Monday Katie Boulter was the seventh British winner on day one (Ben Whitley/PA) Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal and Arthur Fery were the stars of the show on a record-breaking opening day for the large British cohort at Wimbledon. The trio were among seven home players to record victories at the All England Club, the best tally on any day of the championships in the open era. Debutant Oliver Tarvet, Emma Raducanu, Cameron Norrie and Billy Harris completed the magnificent seven. Alcaraz survives but seeds fall Carlos Alcaraz came through a five-set thriller (Ben Whitley/PA) Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz made heavy weather of his opening match at Wimbledon, needing five sets to see off Italian veteran Fabio Fognini on a baking Centre Court. The second seed eventually came through a marathon encounter 7-5 6-7 (5) 7-5 2-6 6-1 in an energy-sapping four hours and 37 minutes. But eighth seed Holger Rune, ninth seed Daniil Medvedev, 24th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and 32nd seed Matteo Berrettini all lost, while third seed Alexander Zverev and fifth seed Taylor Fritz are both in danger of also heading home early after their matches against Arthur Rinderknech and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard respectively were halted by the curfew late on Monday night. Brit watch Jack Draper starts his campaign on Tuesday (John Walton/PA) After 14 British players took to the court on the opening day, nine more start their campaigns on Tuesday. Jack Draper, the fourth seed, closes play on Court One against Argentina's Sebastian Baez. Dan Evans takes on Jay Clarke in the second 'battle of Britain' of the championships, while George Loffhagen faces Spain's Pedro Martinez, Jack Pinnington Jones goes up against Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Johannus Monday challenges 13th seed Tommy Paul. In the women's draw, Jodie Burrage makes her Wimbledon return against American Caty McNally, Heather Watson takes on 22nd seed Clara Tauson while Fran Jones faces Ukraine's Yuliia Starodubtseva. Match of the day Petra Kvitova could be playing at Wimbledon for the final time (Jonathan Brady/PA) Double women's singles champion Petra Kvitova will get her final Wimbledon under way on Court One as she faces American Emma Navarro. The clash will mark the beginning of the Czech player's last summer as a professional tennis player as retirement beckons following the US Open. Kvitova was victorious in 2011 and 2014, but has her work cut out against the 10th seed who reached the quarter-final last year.
