Irish-Australian ace James McCabe beaten on Wimbledon debut by Hungary's Fabian Marozsan
Born in the Philippines to a Filipino mother and a Dublin-born father, 22-year-old McCabe (ranked 176th in the world) faced a difficult task in his first round match against Marozsan (ranked 36th in the world).
And so it proved for Sydney-based McCabe as he claimed 76 points to Maroszan's 100.
Despite hitting eight aces and enjoying a 70 per cent first serve rate to Maroszan's 65 per cent, it was the Hungarian who proved more consistent in the rallies to prevail.
Meanwhile, British hope Jack Draper begins his shot at Wimbledon glory this afternoon, after world no1 Jannik Sinner and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova kick off their own chances.
Draper is considered Britain's best hope of a hometown champion and heads to SW19 as the no4 seed after a recent run to the Queen's semi-finals, and starts against Sebastian Baez on Court 1. Earlier on the same court, Sinner takes on fellow Italian Luca Nardi.
Centre Court action begins with Krejcikova taking on Alexandra Eala, before no6 seed Novak Djokovic face Alexandre Muller. Coco Gauff, the no2 seed, finishes play on Centre Court against Dayana Yastremska.
In addition to Draper, there are eight further British players on show on day two, including Heather Watson and an all-British affair between Daniel Evans and Jay Clarke on Court 12.

Confirmed: John Cleary staying on as Cork senior football boss
John Cleary has received a new two-year term as Cork senior football manager. The Castlehaven man was ratified for another couple of seasons at Tuesday's county board meeting. Cleary took over Cork on an interim basis in 2022 and has been in the permanent position for the last three seasons. Cleary's management team will be proposed for ratification at September's county board meeting. His backroom team for the past three seasons has comprised of coach Kevin Walsh, selectors Micheál Ó Croinín, James Loughrey and Barry Corkery, as well as performance coach Rob Heffernan. For the second year in a row, Cork bowed out at the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final stages when they lost to Dublin. They defeated Roscommon to make the knock-out stages, having beaten Donegal in the 2024 group phase before exiting the championship at the hands of Louth.

John Cleary to stay on as Cork football boss for a further two years
John Cleary has been handed a fresh two-year term as Cork senior football manager. Cleary took over the Cork footballers on an interim basis from Keith Ricken in 2022 before accepting the role on a more permanent footing for three years. That three-year term ended following Cork's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final defeat to Dublin in June, but Clearly was handed a fresh two-year spell at Tuesday night's county board meeting. Meanwhile, Declan Darcy has emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Dessie Farrell as Dublin senior football manager. READ MORE Darcy, who was a key member of Jim Gavin's backroom team from 2013-2019, is understood to be the preferred candidate of several leading players within the senior squad. Former Dublin defender Jonny Cooper could be part of Darcy's management team. Ger Brennan was the early favourite to replace Farrell and at least one of the country's largest bookmakers suspended betting last month on the St Vincent's clubman taking the reins of his native county. Brennan this summer managed Louth to a first Leinster SFC triumph in 68 years but surprisingly stepped down as Wee County boss after their championship campaign ended. His decision to step away was announced just three days after Farrell resigned from as Dublin senior football boss. Brennan has also been linked with the managerial vacancy in Roscommon.

Home are the heroines: thousands turn out for Dublin ladies All-Ireland homecoming
You would think the victorious Dublin ladies football team would be used to triumphant homecomings, having won seven senior All-Irelands since 2010. Yet Tuesday night's reception in Smithfield was the first time the All-Ireland champions have had a dedicated homecoming all to themselves. Not before time, admitted Dublin Lord Mayor Ray McAdam. 'They have made our city and county proud once again. It's about time and it is a fitting way to celebrate every member of this squad,' he told a crowd of several thousand mostly young people gathered in Smithfield square. 'They are inspiring the young girls and the young boys before us.' READ MORE Dublin City Council lit the Samuel Beckett bridge blue in honour of the team. The homecoming had been due to take place on Monday night but was postponed because of high winds. What's another day when you've been waiting 15 years as a team for an occasion like this? There were happy faces all around at Dublin's homecoming celebration on Tuesday following their All-Ireland triumph. Photograph: Inpho Dublin's Niamh Donlon and Caoimhe O'Connor lift the Brendan Martin Cup. Photograph: Inpho They went to the Castleknock Hotel on Sunday night to celebrate and then it was – to quote Dublin captain Bryan Cullen from 2011 – 'back to Coppers' for a long night of celebrations into the early morning. Their latest All-Ireland triumph, a thumping win over provincial rivals Meath on Sunday, was the most emphatic to date after the Jackeens steamrolled their rivals in the first quarter. [ Dublin emerge as deserving champions Opens in new window ] They had been within 60 seconds of an exit at the semi-final stage but drew level with Galway thanks to a heart-stopping 40-metre free from Hannah Tyrrell. . Tyrrell turned up to the homecoming with a crutch in one hand and her daughter Aoife (2) in the other. She came off in the final with a bad knee injury with about five minutes left, the game long having been won. It is the end of an incredible sporting career for the 34-year-old who finishes with two All-Ireland titles, having only joined the Dubs senior ladies back in 2021. She was part of the Ireland rugby team that won the Six Nations in 2015 and played at the Rugby World Cup in 2017. She also played rugby sevens. 'It was worth it for the win. It doesn't matter now, I'm retired,' she said of her injury. Her daughter appeared on stage with the cup, a future Jackeen heroine perhaps in the making.

'There was a moment this morning when I was meeting the girls to go into town and I thought, 'we're All-Ireland champions'. Those little moments are really cool,' she said. 'It's the first homecoming for a ladies team, which is amazing, so whatever comes after that, we are going to enjoy it. We are enjoying every moment while we can. It is these days you always remember with the group.'
