Lily Miyazaki spearheaded the British charge as women's singles action got underway at Wimbledon Qualifying on Tuesday afternoon.

Ad Away from the court, Burrage's partner Ben White plays for Premiership rugby club London Irish, who were suspended from the competition on Tuesday before being placed into administration hours before she took to the Surbiton grass on Wednesday.
Lily Miyazaki triumphed in the battle of the Brits to stun Jodie Burrage and progress to the last 16 on a thrilling day of action at the LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy.

Ad The British No.7 beat her friend-turned-rival — who is supported by the LTA's PSP Programme — 6-3 2-6 4-6 to set up a mouth-watering match against fellow compatriot Eden Silva.
