British number one Emma Raducanu made a winning start to her first Wimbledon as a Grand Slam champion with a straight-set victory over Alison van Uytvanck.
The 19-year-old overcame a nervy start on her Centre Court debut to win a tricky first-round encounter 6-4 6-4.
Backed by an enthusiastic home crowd, the US Open champion showed no sign of the side injury that hampered her build-up to the event.
She will face French former world number four Caroline Garcia next.
A year ago Raducanu burst on to the scene with a run to the Wimbledon fourth round having come into the tournament ranked 338th in the world.
