Bouzas Maneiro has never beaten a player ranked in the top 40, while his only other grasscourt match this year was a first-round loss at a low-key tournament in Italy.

“He is one of the best players in the world so there is no pressure for me. And I can just enjoy the moment and play freely.”

“I was really surprised with myself. Then I was a little nervous at first but the atmosphere was so fun that I felt more comfortable. I felt like I was at home,” said the 21-year-old tennis player.

Bouzas Maneiro will face Spanish compatriot Cristina Bucsa for a place in the last 32.

Marketa Vondrousova arrived in London in doubt after injuring her right hip in a fall at the Berlin grasscourt tournament last month.
