Daria Kasatkina has got the Australian show back on the road on another sun-drenched day at Wimbledon but looked less than happy with her mistake-ridden first-round win.
After Monday's calamitous opening day featured seven Australian players exiting and only an injured Jordan Thompson battling through, Kasatkina at least was able to kick off Tuesday, again in searing temperatures, with a 7-5 6-3 victory over Colombian Emiliana Arango.
Making hard work of subduing her lively opponent, 16th seed Kasatkina, the celebrated new recruit for Australian tennis, wasn't helped by dishing up 11 double faults and 38 unforced errors against the world No.76.
By the time she finally sealed victory with an ace, Kasatkina looked to her box in frustration as if to ask why she had laboured so much in the one hour 38 minute battle, especially as she had been helped by the South American making 39 errors of her own.
Kasatkina, who had lost her three matches on grass this season after being the last Australian standing in the fourth round at the French Open, said she had hoped an eighth visit to Wimbledon would prove rejuvenating.
It was certainly restorative for the Australian's women's challenge as she's their only victor so far, with qualifier Priscilla Hon also going down 6-2 7-5 to Russian 18th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova among Tuesday's early qualifiers.
Sydney's James McCabe, who had also battled through qualifying at Roehampton, struggled on his Wimbledon main draw debut, well beaten 6-1 6-4 6-3 by Hungary's world No.58, Fabian Marozsan.
