London: Australian tennis suffered a humiliating wipeout yesterday with all six of their men's singles hopefuls eliminated in the first round for just the second time since World War Two.
Bernard Tomic's lacklustre straight sets loss to Mischa Zverev, was followed by a stronger effort from Thanasi Kokkinakis who pushed Juan Martin del Potro hard before losing in four sets.
But Jordan Thompson was the final Australian to lose in the first round to 25th seeded Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Nick Kyrgios, Andrew Whittington and John Millman all lost on Monday.
