O'Brien bows out
Twenty-year-old Katie O’Brien began became the first Briton to go out of Wimbledon after frittering away a 6-2 3-1 lead against Italian Tathiana Garbin.
Instead of providing an appetiser for a feast of tennis for British fans on the second day of Wimbledon, O’Brien was a typical gallant loser as Garbin, the world number 68, came back to win 2-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-2.
