Result: Paul Jubb crashes out in Wimbledon first round

Paul Jubb's Wimbledon adventure only lasted one match as the teenager suffered a four-set loss to Joao Sousa in the first round.

The 19-year-old was given a wild card after becoming the first British player to win the prestigious American college title and then impressing throughout the grass-court warm-up events.

But Sousa, ranked 69, is a very solid and experienced professional and he ultimately had too much for Jubb, winning 6-0 6-3 6-7 (8) 6-1.

Jubb's story has garnered plenty of attention, the boy raised by his grandmother on a Hull council estate after losing both his parents tragically young making his way to the grandest stage in tennis.

Initially it appeared the occasion and the opponent would be far too much of a challenge, with Sousa breezing through the first set.

But Jubb, ranked 431, relaxed into the match as it went on and it became a much more even contest. He stayed with Sousa until the eighth game of the second set, and twice led by a break in the third.

The teenager, who has modelled his game on Novak Djokovic, impressed with his competitive desire and his athleticism, coming out on top of a number of long rallies, but he struggled to impose himself with his serve.

He pushed Sousa all the way to a third-set tie-break, and produced some of his best tennis, saving two match points before taking his second opportunity, roaring along with the crowd packed around tiny Court 17.

But the effort of winning the set seemed to take its toll and Jubb was immediately broken at the start of the fourth set, with Sousa going on to wrap up victory after two hours and 16 minutes.
