Jodie Burrage made it third time lucky as she registered her first Wimbledon win by beating American Caty McNally.
British wild card Burrage had suffered first-round exits in the previous two years at SW19.
But the 24-year-old, who reached the final of the Nottingham Open last month, swept aside world number 67 McNally 6-1 6-3 to march into the second round.

But Burrage hit back with a double break, and converted a match point at the sixth time of asking to wrap up victory in an hour and four minutes.
