Norrie stunned as six Britons lose on first day

Cameron Norrie suffered a rare Wimbledon first-round upset in a gruelling five-set loss to qualifier Michael Zheng as 10 of the 11 Britons in action on the opening day of their home Grand Slam fell to defeat.

Norrie was the only British seeded player to feature in either singles draw, but the world number 29 - so often the last Briton standing at the Slams - was twice reeled back in by American Zheng after being a set up, eventually losing 6-7 (7-9) 6-2 6-7 (2-7) 6-3 7-6 (10-4) after four hours on court.
