Rising star Mimi Xu has fallen short of becoming the youngest British player to feature at Wimbledon in a century after suffering defeat in the first qualifying round for the prestigious Grand Slam.
Xu lost to Hanna Chang from the United States, falling in straight sets by a 6-4, 6-3 scoreline in just over an hour.
While the result will be of huge disappointment to Xu, she put in a brave and excellent display to underline her potential against Chang who with a world ranking of 269 was always favourite to see off the teenager from Swansea who sits far lower at 1147.
