A hat-trick of wins on day two has given Australia a perfect five-from-five start to the Wimbledon men's qualifying tournament.
John-Patrick Smith, Ben Mitchell and Jason Kubler all joined John Millman and former Wimbledon and Australian Open junior champion Luke Saville in the second round of men's qualifying on Tuesday.
Smith outlasted Belgium's Maxime Authom 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (3-7) 6-2, Kubler beat Portugal's Rui Machado 6-3 6-4 and Mitchell, a one-time boys' singles finalist at the All England Club, posted a 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-0 comeback win over Frenchman Remi Boutillier.
All five Aussies will be back on court on Wednesday, but Olivia Rogowska and Anastasia Rodionova have been eliminated from the women's qualifying draw.
