But despite the distracting of St. Albans, Hertfordshire and triomflying for a jubilant home crowd in SW19, the 21-year-old will not be able to claim most of the £ 66,000 prize that were offered to him for reaching the second round.

Tarvet, who prevailed past the Swiss 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Court 2, is currently playing on the US Collegial Circuit and has left for a year from his diploma at the University of San Diego and Most university sports in the United States are amateur.

However, that did not seem to hinder the Brit who claimed an impressive victory after continuing the qualifying rounds and a collision against title defender Carlos Alcaraz Or Fabio Fognini.
