Britain's Oliver Tarvet aims to be creative with his expenses after the amateur beat fellow qualifier Leandro Riedi in his first Grand Slam match at Wimbledon on June 30.

LONDON -

The University of San Diego student rose to the occasion, dispatching his Swiss opponent 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

The 21-year-old now has the daunting task of facing Carlos Alcaraz in the second round on July 2 after the defending champion beat veteran Fabio Fognini.

Tarvet's victory came after he battled through three rounds of qualifying to make it to the grass-court Major. But the Briton, 733rd in the world rankings, will not profit significantly from his hard work.

Under National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules in the United States, players are required to stay amateur and are restricted in how much prize money they can claim from professional tournaments.
