    It's been a fantastic first day at Wimbledon - and as far as Brits are concerned, a record breaking one!

    With seven wins in the singles, it is the most successful day for Britons at Wimbledon in the Open Era.

    Alongside Katie Boulter, there were wins for Cameron Norrie, Arthur Fery, Sonay Kartal, Emma Raducanu, Oliver Tarvet and Billy Harris.

    British number two Katie Boulter speaking on Centre Court after staging an upset against world number nine Paula Badosa: "I think I got one of my first victories against a top 10 player on this court against Olga Puchkova. The moment that I stepped out here, it just reminded me of that from the first ball.

    "I just felt like I had some really good juju going on there and I played some really good stuff. I'm happy to be through to the next round.

    "I didn't have any nerve there, I was completely bricking it. I've played a lot of matches recently where I've started out great and then kind of let it slip.

    "I played a game like that at Queen's which hurt me a lot so I just tried to compete, fight and hope for the best today. I had to hope that she missed and keep pushing myself to be positive.

    "I had to keep going after the ball and hoping that it would happen - and today it actually did happen, so I'm thrilled."

    On playing on Centre Court: "This court is the epitome of what every British child dreams about playing on and actually winning on. It's a dream come true every time I get to step out here. I was so excited, I felt like a little girl again.

    "I'm super happy to be through and I'm glad I got the win today."

    She has always been a really gutsy performer and she loves the big stage and rises to the challenge.

    She played terrific, high level tennis. You never really thought she was going to lose, Badosa struggled more than Boulter.

    That is just Katie Boulter's fourth win over a top-10 ranked opponent, a big moment for her.

    On paper at least, it gets easier in round two when she'll face lucky loser Solana Sierra of Argentina.

    A huge cheer goes up on Henman Hill as Katie Boulter provides a superb win on day one at Wimbledon.

    For much of the day the hill has been a tough sell in the afternoon heat, but it’s a popular place to be now as things begin to cool off.

    Temporarily at least, it’s Boulter Bank.

    It has been a very good day for Katie Boulter.

    She came out firing. She pulled back a little bit but she was still the more aggressive player. She finally came out and hit those forehand returns, and it totally won her the match at the end.

    That was perhaps the sweetest win of her career - it doesn't get much better than that, especially right here on Centre Court.

    Katie Boulter wins on Centre Court!

    What a performance from the British number two! She has knocked out the ninth seed in a fantastic match that swung one way then the other.

    Boulter was brilliant in the first set, lost her way in the second as Paula Badosa hit back and then went a break down at the start of the third.

    She showed great resilience, though, fought back and came through secure a memorable win when Badosa's backhand found the net.

    When you are in later stages of these Grand Slam matches, you really want to play percentage tennis.

    You don't want to get cute or start to experiment with anything. You just need to go with your best shots and your best returns - and commit to it.

    It's about just staying in the moment with each point and not doing anything cute. Hopefully you also know what returns, serves or shots have been working.

    The sun is slowly setting on SW19 as Boulter and Badosa battle for the decider.

    Don't forget, there is still another match on Centre Court after this one concludes.

    You would imagine that German men's third seed Alexander Zverev against France's Arthur RInderknech will not finish tonight.

    Unlike the other three Grand Slam tournaments, Wimbledon does not allow play to continue until nightclub-kickout hours.

    Local rules mean play must be stopped by 11pm.

    Three big first serves put Katie Boulter in control of the game at 40-0 but a double fault adds some tension.

    That's really ramped up when Paula Badosa gets it to 40-30.

    The Spaniard will feel she should take it to deuce as she comes in behind a strong forehand, only to put the volley into the net.

    Big hold for Boulter and now would be a pretty handy time to break...

    I'm not sure why Katie Boulter keeps slicing that forehand return.

    She was going for those shots in the first set and it was working nicely, but now she is just bunting the ball back into play.

    She was getting an offense off the forehand earlier in this match.

    Katie Boulter might be sensing an opportunity at 30-30 but Paula Badosa shuts down any such notions with a 115mph serve.

    The Spaniard sees it through to hold. New balls coming now, just to add an extra element to this intriguing contest.

    Ashlyn Krueger gives herself two chances to seal the match, but she only needs one.

    It was an accomplished performance from the 31st seed, but Mika Stojsavljevic can be proud of her performance out on court 17.

    We will be seeing more of the 16-year-old in the future for sure.

    I returned to court 17 to see if British 16-year-old Mika Stojsavljevic could threaten a stunning comeback on her Wimbledon debut.

    Just the 735 places separate Stojsavljevic and American 21-year-old Ashlyn Krueger in the world rankings, and that gulf in experience is beginning to show here.

    After losing the opening set to a single break of serve, the young Briton made the perfect start by taking a 2-0 lead in the second, but Krueger has offered an emphatic response to keep the crowd’s enthusiasm in check.

    Lots of shouts of encouragement for Mika here still, although I’m disappointed not to hear a ‘Relax, Take It Easy’ shout yet…
