Jack Sock led a group of seven Americans through to the second round of Wimbledon qualifying on Monday at Roehampton.

Sock, who lost a heartbreaker in the ATP Challenger Tour final on Sunday in Ilkley against Zizou Bergs, bounced back for a 6-4, 6-2 victory against Argentine Andrea Collarini.

This is the first time Sock is playing qualifying at the grass-court major since 2013. The 29-year-old is up to No. 102 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, putting him on the verge of returning to the Top 100 for the first time since the week of 29 October 2018.

Third seed Stefan Kozlov was one of the other six Americans who advanced. Kozlov defeated Frenchman Evan Furness 7-5, 6-3.

Veterans who moved on include German Philipp Kohlschreiber, Italian Andreas Seppi and Moldovan Radu Albot.

Kohlschreiber, the 38-year-old who first competed in the Wimbledon main draw in 2005, eliminated Frenchman Gregoire Barrere 6-2, 6-2. After the match, he announced this will be his final tournament.

Seppi, who has played the main draw at every edition of The Championships since 2005, ousted Mirza Basic 6-2, 4-6, 6-0. Seventh seed Albot defeated Italian Roberto Marcora 6-1, 6-4.

A group of #NextGenATP players also moved on: Swiss Dominic Stricker, Brazilian Matheus Pucinelli De Almeida, Australian Rinky Hijikata, Briton Arthur Fery, Argentine Thiago Agustin Tirante, Czech Dalibor Svrcina and Croatian Duje Ajdukovic. Ajdukovic earned the upset of the day when he cruised past former Top 10 star Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-3.

Top seed Bernabe Zapata Miralles clawed past Indian Yuki Bhambri 7-5, 6-1. The Spaniard is trying to qualify for Wimbledon for the second consecutive year.

Ilya Ivashka surged to a comprehensive 6-4, 6-1 victory against Emil Ruusuvuori on Monday to book a second-round meeting with second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Mallorca Championships.

Ivashka’s first-round victory at the ATP 250 event in Spain came on a day when he rose to a career-high No. 40 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings. The 28-year-old celebrated with a clinical performance against Ruusuvuori, breaking the Finn’s serve four times in an 88-minute victory to extend his lead in the pair’s ATP Head2Head series to 5-0.

Tsitsipas and Ivashka’s two previous tour-level meetings have both come in 2022. The Greek claimed a straight-sets win on hard in Rotterdam in February and backed that up with a three-set triumph on the clay in Barcelona in April.

Third seed Denis Shapovalov’s opening opponent in Mallorca was also set on Monday. Benjamin Bonzi advanced to the second round after Chilean qualifier Alejandro Tabilo retired with the Frenchman leading 6-3, 4-2.

It will be a maiden tour-level meeting for Shapovalov and Bonzi at a tournament where both are appearing for the first time.

Alex de Minaur started his title defence at the Rothesay International with victory Monday, downing Chilean Cristian Garin 6-3, 6-3 to reach the second round in Eastbourne.

The Australian dropped just one set en route to the crown at the ATP 250 event last season and once again looked at home on the grass on the English south coast. The sixth seed broke Garin four times to advance after 83 minutes, improving to 3-0 in their ATP Head2Head series.

The 23-year-old, who holds a 14-11 record on grass, could next play Lorenzo Sonego in a rematch of last season’s final. The Italian will meet Australian qualifier James Duckworth on Tuesday.

Maxime Cressy overcame Reilly Opelka 6-3, 6-1 in an-all American battle to advance to the second round on his debut in Eastbourne.

The 25-year-old won 92 per cent (24/26) of points behind his first delivery as he served and volleyed the fifth seed off the court to move through in 60 minutes.

Cressy, who reached the quarter-finals on grass in Newport last season, will face Briton Daniel Evans or Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in the second round.

No. 10 Hubert Hurkacz, +2
The Pole rises two spots to return to the Top 10 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time since March after claiming his maiden grass-court crown at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle. The 25-year-old’s run to his first ATP 500 title included close victories against Felix Auger-Aliassime and Nick Kyrgios before a dominant championship match win against World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev.

No. 26 Botic van de Zandschulp, +3 (Career High)
The 26-year-old only broke the Top 100 for the first time last September, but van de Zandschulp’s rise up the rankings continues after reaching the semi-finals at the Cinch Championships in London. The Dutchman jumps three places to No. 26 after defeating Paul Jubb, Grigor Dimitrov and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at The Queen’s Club.

No. 31 Filip Krajinovic, +17
Krajinovic had not won a tour-level match on grass prior to arriving at The Queen’s Club last week. However, the Serbian took out former champions Sam Querrey and Marin Cilic en route to his first final of 2022 in London. The 30-year-old surges 17 places to No. 31, his highest position since February 2021. Read London Final Report & Watch Highlights.

No. 37 Oscar Otte, +14 (Career High)
A dream week in Halle propels the 28-year-old to a career-high No. 37, just six months after he broke the Top 100 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time. Otte’s high-intensity brand of tennis delighted his home support in Germany and took him past Miomir Kecmanovic, Nikoloz Basilashvili and Karen Khachanov, before World No. 1 Medvedev proved too strong in the semi-finals at the ATP 500 event.

No. 45 Nick Kyrgios, +20
A semi-finalist in Stuttgart nine days ago, the Australian returns to the Top 50 for the first time since March 2021 after his second consecutive final-four appearance on the grass in Germany. Kyrgios came through a high-quality second-round battle with second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in Halle, and he also saw off Pablo Carreno Busta before falling to eventual champion Hurkacz in the final four.
