Last year all six British singles players went out in the opening round of the clay court Grand Slam.

This time world No.81 Norrie staged the most stunning of the British wins by shocking the Russian world No.11.

Jack Draper, Jacob Fearnley, Katie Boutler, Emma Raducanu and Sonay Kartal also secured opening round wins - the most here since 1973.

And it is the first time in the Open era that three British men and three British women have all won first-round matches here.

Draper (right) said: "I think it's amazing for British tennis, to be honest.

"I think it's great and it shows that we're not afraid of playing well on the clay."
