Ambulance chasers, get your running shoes on. Great Britain has its first Wimbledon casualty. Poor Katie O'Brien. The 25 year old from Hull lasted little more than an hour on No 3 Court as Japan's Kimiko Date Krum saw out a straight-sets victory to win 6-0 7-5.
Katie pulled a break back in the second set to level at 5-5 but that was her final hurrah and she becomes the first competitor to be knocked out of Wimbledon 2011 and, in glum offices under dim flourescent lights, the country's journos all pen their first paragraph on the plight of British tennis.
