Harriet Dart dominated Zhuoxuan Bai to set up a potential Wimbledon second-round meeting with British number one Katie Boulter.

The 27-year-old Dart defeated China's Bai 6-4 6-0 on court 18.

Boulter, the 32nd seed, faces 2022 semi-finalist Tatjana Maria later on Tuesday.

World number 94 Dart did not lose serve against Bai, breaking the 21-year-old in the 10th game to take the first set, and only a rain interruption delayed her progress.

Dart is one of 11 Britons in action on Tuesday after Andy Murray announced he would not play singles following his back operation.

Jack Draper - the nation's leading men's player - faces Sweden's Elias Ymer last on Centre Court.

Cameron Norrie, who reached the semi-finals in 2022, is also in action, as too are Dan Evans, Jacob Fearnley, Paul Jubb, Billy Harris, Henry Searle, Fran Jones and Jan Choinski.
