University student Ollie Tarvet was unable to create one of the biggest shocks in Wimbledon history as the Briton’s dream run came to an end against two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
The 21-year-old qualifier put up an entertaining fight – showing signs of his vast potential – but ultimately lost 6-1 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court.
Ranked 733rd in the world, Tarvet created 11 break points against the five-time Grand Slam champion.
But the Englishman – who studies in the United States – could only take two of those opportunities and never looked like seriously causing an upset.
“I want to give credit to Oliver – I love his game,” said second seed Alcaraz, who secured a 20th match win in a row.
“The level he played in his first match on Centre Court, which I know is difficult, was great.
“I knew I had to be really focused from the beginning. I’m happy with my performance.”
Tarvet’s run of four victories – three in qualifying and another in the first round proper – means he should be taking home prize money of £99,000.
However, he is only allowed to claim $10,000 (£7,290) in profit every year under American college rules, as well as any expenses incurred during the events.

Cardiff’s Principality Stadium is set to host two monumental gigs this weekend, with Oasis making a much-anticipated comeback on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, marking their first group performance in 16 years.
As Cardiff city centre braces for the influx of music fans, significant road closures will be implemented around the capital in preparation for the concerts, which open their doors at 5pm.
For the Oasis concerts, city centre roads will be shut from midday and are expected to reopen at the stroke of midnight. A Cardiff Council spokesperson earlier in June advised: “The M4 motorway is expected to be very busy for these concerts – so please plan ahead – and avoid the congestion in Cardiff by using the park and ride at the car park by the Vindico Arena on International Drive in the Sports Village – CF11 0JS.

“For up-to-date traffic information on the motorway and trunk roads, go to the Traffic Wales website, or @TrafficWalesS on Twitter and Facebook.”, reports Wales Online.
Concertgoers are being urged to meticulously plan their journey and arrive in Cardiff early. It’s also important to heed the list of prohibited items, especially the bag policy which disallows large bags, before heading into the city.

What roads will be closed?
From 7am, Scott Road and Park Street will be shut due to preparations at gate five and to ensure the safety of queuing fans. A full city centre road closure will be in effect on July 4 and 5, commencing at 12noon and lasting until midnight.
Access to certain areas of the civic centre will be regulated throughout the day, with entry permitted only for event parking, limited commuter parking, loading and access to private car parks.
Roads impacted include King Edward VII Avenue, Museum Avenue, City Hall Road, College Road and Gorsedd Gardens Road.
Noel Gallagher has spoken out ahead of playing live shows to Oasis fans. In the Oasis tour programme, he has been explaining why they are loved by music fans, young and old.
He said: “A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn’t manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant. We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it…
“I didn’t invent anything. I had good taste in music, a cool record collection, I could write a melody simple enough to make it work, and it was 50% inspiration and 50% copying.”

Brighton have signed French defender Olivier Boscagli following his departure from PSV Eindhoven.
The 27-year-old, who can play as left-back or centre-back, has signed a five-year contract with the south-coast club.
“We’re delighted to welcome Olivier to Brighton. He has got a lot of experience with PSV and we like his versatility,” said head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
“He can play in several positions and we feel it is important to have these players in our squad. We are looking forward to working with him.
The former France Under-21 international made 204 appearances for PSV after joining from Nice in 2019.
Boscagli joins forward Charalampos Kostoulas, wingers Tommy Watson and Yoon Doyoung and defender Diego Coppola in the summer arrivals at Brighton, who finished eighth in the Premier League last season.
Loose Women panelists reacted to the news that co-star Sunetra Sarker has injured both of her ankles after she shared her experience on the ITV show this afternoon
A Loose Women panelist revealed that she’s struggling to walk after a set of accidents recently. Sunetra Sarker, 52, opened up to her colleagues earlier about injuring both of her ankles, including sharing that she had been in “agony”.
Sunetra, 52 – known for her acting roles on Casualty and Ackley Bridge – spoke about her health on the ITV show this afternoon. She was joined on the panel today by Charlene White, 45, Janet Street-Porter, 78, and Jane Moore, 63.
The actor unveiled her latest injury during a segment about “negativity bias”. Charlene teased at one point: “Whether we liked it or not, Sunetra gave us a roll call of doom when she walked in this morning. So, go on, tell everyone!”
Sunetra then revealed that she had sprained her right ankle at home two months ago. She recalled looking forward to being able to walk “properly” again weeks later before spraining her other ankle on her way to physiotherapy.
Following the introduction from Charlene, Sunetra shared with the panel and fans: “Everyone I’m meeting now as soon as they come towards me I’m like ‘get ready for the speech’. Things have been going from bad to worse!”

She continued: “Six weeks ago I sprained my ankle. It was agony. I cannot explain how this hot pain …” Charlene asked her: “How did you sprain that one?”
Sunetra said: “I had a dead leg. I was trying to put my foot in a slipper. It’s nothing showbiz. Sorry, it’s not glamorous. I just was old and I couldn’t get my foot in my slipper.”
She added on the show: “So then I’ve been ‘poor me, poor me’. Strapped up. Everyone who sees me has been like ‘oh you poor thing with your bandage on your leg’.”
Sunetra continued: “On my way to physio for said sprained ankle, six weeks after the injury, I’m thinking ‘I’m nearly gonna be able to walk again properly’. On the way, my flip-flop gets caught under the doormat.”
Jane was seen laughing as Sunetra reacted: “Laughing already at my doom.” She then recalled: “So my flip flop gets caught, I trip, my left leg comes out to save my face from hitting the ground and guess what, sprained left ankle [now].”

Referencing her own character from the BBC medical drama, Sunetra continued: “So, now, Dr Zoe Hanna from Casualty is sitting in casualty for six hours being recognised by everyone [asking questions].” She then described the experience as “awful”.
Charlene noted that footwear was involved in both accidents, teasing: “We need to look at like your shoe game!” Sunetra, who had lifted up one of her crutches to show the audience moments earlier, responded: “Now it’s crutches!”
Jane went on to reveal that she had also laughed when she heard the story backstage prior to the episode being filmed. Jane said: “When she was telling me this morning, she said ‘I was on my way to physio’ and I just started laughing. I was like ‘I’m so sorry I’m laughing but it’s funny’.”
She added: “That is why I think we love … I think it’s a particularly British thing … I think we love negativity because it’s funny. It can be, obviously there’s a large section of negativity that isn’t. But mostly we tell negative stories because there’s a bit of a punchline, they can be quite self-depricating and it makes you laugh.”
Loose Women continues tomorrow from 12.30pm on ITV and ITVX.
