Britain’s Dan Evans saw his hopes of making the Wimbledon first round extinguished as he fell at the last hurdle of qualifying against Japan’s Yuichi Sugita.
Evans has made the first round at SW19 three times before in his career but Sugita, ranked 149th in the world, proved too strong and cruised to a 7-6 (8/6), 6-2, 7-5 victory.
It means no British male qualifiers will join Friday’s main draw after Richard Gabb, Ed Corrie, Daniel Cox, Joshua Milton, Alexander Ward and Richard Bloomfield had also lost in earlier rounds.
Evans fought back from 3-0 down in the first to lead Sugita 5-3 at Roehampton but the Briton failed to serve out and his opponent took full advantage.
