Cameron Norrie began the British charge at Wimbledon by becoming the first home player to win after a rain-interrupted start to the opening day.
British men's number one Norrie, 26, played confidently in a 6-0 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 win against Spain's Pablo Andujar.
Norrie, seeded ninth, is bidding to reach the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time.
Wildcard Jodie Burrage lost 6-2 6-3 in her opening match against Ukraine's Lesia Tsurenko.
Both matches were interrupted by a rain shower which forced play to be suspended on the outside courts from 11:45 BST until it resumed shortly after 13:00.
