British qualifier Marcus Willis' remarkable Wimbledon run came to an end with defeat by seven-time champion Roger Federer on Centre Court.
Willis, the world number 772 who came through six rounds of qualifying and the first-round proper, was beaten 6-0 6-3 6-4 in round two.
Third seed Federer could play another Briton next as he awaits either Dan Evans or Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov.
Willis, 25, will take home £50,000 as reward for making the second round.
He had previously earned far more as a tennis coach than player this year, with around £220 in prize money to his name before a spectacular upturn in fortunes over the last two weeks.
The British number 23 from Wokingham is also set to rise to around 416 in the world when the new rankings are confirmed after Wimbledon.
