Brit Broady out
Had Broady made it to the next stage, it would have been Britain’s most number of individuals at that juncture since 1979.
For Broady, who cannot earn any ranking points for this run, the £120,000 prize money will afford him a decent night out and go some way towards the reinvestment of his tennis.
Unfortunately there were swathes of empty seats in the 12,345-capacity arena by the time Broady began the match of his life.
Throughout the opening week, it has been noticeable that so many Pimm’s-guzzling punters have not been in place by the time action has started on the two big courts.
That said, those who were enjoying a long lunch would have missed the first set given it was all over in 28 minutes.
It was not pretty at times and De Minaur turned the screw with exemplary serving after a key break of serve in game six.
