Five British men won their first-round Wimbledon qualifying matches as they began their bid for a place in the main draw.

Oliver Tarvet was among those to impress at Roehampton, beating 14th seed Terence Atmane 6-1 7-6 (7-2).

The 21-year-old is a student at the University of San Diego and currently plays in the American college NCAA system.

Tarvet hit 22 winners on his way to victory over his French opponent and will play a fellow debutant, Canada's Alexis Galarneau, in the next round.

Players must win three matches to advance through qualifying and join the 12 British men already in the singles draw for Wimbledon, which begins on 30 June.

There was also an impressive win for British number 10 Paul Jubb, who saw off 19th seed Thiago Agustin Tirante 6-3 6-2.

Jubb broke Tirante's serve five times as he aims for a fifth appearance at SW19 - and the chance to make it past the first round proper for the first time.

British number 11 Ryan Peniston is also through, beating Facundo Bagnis of Argentina 6-3 6-1 to set up a meeting with Spain's Martin Landaluce .

Also through is Hamish Stewart, who saved a match point before opponent Valentin Vacherot of Monaco retired with injury.

Stewart trailed 6-4 6-5 when Vacherot ended the match early.

Oliver Bonding was the fifth and final British man to win on Monday, battling past Norway's Viktor Durasovic 7-5 2-6 6-4.

Jan Choinski, who had reached the main draw in each of the last two years, lost 3-6 6-4 6-3 to Estonia's Mark Lajal.

Giles Hussey went down in three sets to Denmark's August Holmgren, while James Story fell 6-0 6-2 to Chilean fifth seed Tomas Barrios Vera.

Compatriot Alastair Gray was also beaten 5-7 6-3 6-4 by France's Arthur Bouquier.
