Day one: Draper &  Pinnington Jones through to second round while Klugman bows out

The stage is set for the first day of main draw action at the Lexus Eastbourne Open with five Brits ready for action.

Jack Draper came through his first match since April with a win, Jack Pinnington Jones battled through in three sets but Hannah Klugman narrowly missed out on second round spot.

Draper put in an encouraging performance after coming back from injury to beat Marcos Giron 6-4, 7-6(5).

The former British No.1 dropped just four points (20/24) behind his serve in the opening set before picking up a break in the final game to take the lead.

Draper took an early lead, racing to 5-2 but a dip in concentration found him broken back and heading to a tie-break. There, he recovered an early mini-break before sealing the win with a forehand winner on his first match point.

Pinnington Jones fought back from a set down to win 5-7, 6-3, 7-5 against lucky loser Marco Trungelliti.

The Brit let a 5-3 lead slip in the opening set but showed impressive resilience to fight back, claiming the crucial break that forced a decider.

Facing defeat at 5-4 in the final set, Pinnington Jones saved a match point before mounting a superb comeback. Despite a tense finish as he served for the match, the Brit eventually converted his fifth match point to complete a hard-fought victory.

Klugman lost out in a tight contest against Tereza Valentova - the Brit lost 7-5, 5-7, 7-5.

The 17-year-old asked questions of the world No.61, as she forced a decider, finding the crucial break in the final game of the second.

She saved 10 of the 19 break points she faced, but Valentova proved to be more clinical in the big moments and took the match on her second ask. 

After qualifying for the main draw yesterday, Jan Choinski will face Australia's Alexei Popyrin in his first round match, alongside Francesca Jones  who will play Jelena Ostapenko.
