British No 1 Jack Draper stepped into the spotlight after Andy Murray withdrew from his final Wimbledon singles match due to injury, with the 22-year-old earning a gritty five-set win over qualifier Elias Ymer under the roof on Centre Court.

Murray was scheduled to face Tomas Machac but the two-time champion announced on Tuesday morning that he had withdrawn having not made sufficient recovery following an operation on a spinal cyst 10 days ago.

Earlier, defending champion Marketa Vondrousova crashed out of Wimbledon after suffering a shock first-round defeat to unseeded Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on her return to Centre Court.

Elsewhere, day two saw Novak Djokovic cruise past Vit Kopriva 6-1 6-2 6-2. A mammoth 11 British players were in action, with Katie Boulter victorious and setting up an intriguing clash with British No 2 Harriet Dart on Thursday.
