That 6-4 3-6 6-3 defeat for Kyle Edmund earlier today means the British number two goes into Wimbledon without a win on the grass court this year.

He was knocked out in the first round at Queens by teenager Denis Shapovalov before Donald Young swept him aside today.

Marcus Willis has been talking to the media after his first-round win in Wimbledon qualifying, 12 months on from his run to the second round proper.

"It feels very different," said Willis. "Last year I came here and no-one really knew what was going on, I was happy to be here.

"I’m happy to be here again, obviously, but after what I did last year, doing less could be disappointing."

Next up for Willis is an all-British contest against good friend Liam Broady.

"There will probably be more people rooting for Marcus, he's a loveable guy and fantastic to watch," said Broady.

Heather Watson's clash with Dominika Cibulkova has just begun on Centre Court in Devonshire Park. The British number two has held serve in the first game and you can followlive coverage on BBC Two.

Asked if he was using Crystal Palace as a stepping stone to another club, Frank de Boer replied: "I don't want to think about it, I am focusing on this job. What happens in the future is not important. I want to concentrate on making Palace a solid Premier League team. That is my only concern. I have signed for three years and I want to stay for the three years,"

The last Palace manager to complete three years or more in charge was Steve Coppell from 1984-93.

"Sakho was impressive last season so we will look at what we need. First of all I need to see all the players, I have a very good opinion and know a lot about the team."

A new manager, a new sponsor and a new away shirt. A BIG day at Selhurst Park. I preferred the white shirt with the red and blue diagonal stripe.

Former world number one Serena Williams is not competing at the moment for one very obvious reason (although she could probably still win quite a few matches). Here she is channelling the Bangles.

Heather Watson is the next Brit in action at Eastbourne today. She will take on fourth seed Dominika Cibulkova on Centre Court following the conclusion of Karolína Pliskova v Alison Riske.

We saw British number two Naomi Broady slip out of the competition with defeat to Plískova's twin sister Kristyna earlier today.

Steve Parish: "We need to build a cushion, Frank's number one brief is to reduce mine and the fans' anxiety this season."

A cushion away from the relegation zone we assume, not an actual cushion? Let us know your thoughts on the appointment of Frank de Boer. Please tweet to #bbcsportsday

Frank de Boer will not be emulating the Sam Allardyce style of play at Selhurst Park. "I have my own type of coaching and style of play. We will try and play dominantly, with and without the ball, and play attractive football. They have a fantastic fan base here."

New boss Frank de Boer is understandably keen to utilise the talents of talented winger Wilfried Zaha at Selhurst Park.

"Zaha is already one of the key players in the squad, nice to see he loves to play for Palace and wants to be that key player."

Geoff Naylor: Frank de Boer has absolutely no experience of leading a struggling team. What's going to happen when Palace lose a few games?

It couldn't happen again, could it? Marcus Willis is back to causing upsets on the Wimbledon grass - the world number 374 beats world number 184, Andrej Martin of Slovakia 7-5 7-5 in the first round of qualifying at Roehampton. The 26-year-old did not drop serve as he serve-and-volleyed his way to victory. Two more wins required for a trip to the All England Club next week.

Louis van Gaal provided plenty of interest at his news conferences, if not always with his style of play, during his time at Manchester United and new Palace boss Frank de Boer consulted his fellow Dutchman before signing his three-year contract to manage the south London club.

"I spoke with Louis van Gaal and asked him what the experience was like? He has always been very good to me, he was the first one to congratulate me," De Boer said.

More from new Palace boss Frank de Boer, who adds: "This club can grow further and further. They spend a lot of money and there is the possibility to do something well with that money.

"I've not met the players yet, we will look at one or two signings but I think it is necessary to see all the players here first."

The new Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer is not targeting the title just yet. "The aim is to be a solid Premier League team, not to struggle with relegation. That is our main target, if we do more that’s nice."

Palace chairman Steve Parish: "It's just about the worst kept secret in football, Fantastically exciting for this football club, an amazing milestone for us. I am excited to work with him and what we can achieve with the club."
