Raducanu defeated Renata Zarazua on Centre Court while qualifier Kartal knocked out 29th seed Sorana Cirstea.
Emma Raducanu was victorious on her return to Wimbledon but the standout British success of the day came from her former junior rival Sonay Kartal.
She added: “I think getting a first win at any slam, and to have it at Wimbledon makes it extra special. I think going through qualifying was the best thing for me this year.” Afterwards she revealed she had taken inspiration from England’s scrappy win over Slovakia at Euro 2024, saying: “For sure, I sympathise with the players who are being told they need to play a lot better, need to play perfect.“It doesn’t need to be beautiful, it doesn’t need to be perfect. As long as you get through the opening rounds, you give yourself another chance to play better.
Broady was playing just his second singles match since returning from months out with an ankle injury followed by a concussion suffered when he hit his head on his car boot.
