Norrie plays Kei Nishikori in the second round.

Cameron Norrie has joined the home party at Wimbledon by earning his first ever win there.

The 23-year-old beat Denis Istomin 6-2 6-4 6-4 to become the sixth British player into the second round.

The last two years had resulted in first-round defeats for the British number two, but he demolished Istomin on Court 16.

He set the tone by breaking the Uzbekistani's first two service games, which allowed him to take the first set in 39 minutes.

Single breaks in the second and third sets made it an easy afternoon for the Brit, who plays Kei Nishikori next.
