Britons Endure Record Early Exits at Wimbledon First Round

A wave of first‑round losses saw British tennis players exit Wimbledon early, marking the nation's worst opening performance in the tournament's history. Defeats across both men's and women's singles highlighted the inexperience of younger Britons and the potency of opponents' serve games.

Wimbledon officials say they will provide additional support to help British competitors improve their play in the later stages of the championship.
