There was more mixed news for home fans in the quad main draw singles as last year's runner-up Mark Eccleston lost his tough opener against Holland's Bas Van Erp.

Hampshire's Peter Norfolk proved he is still in a good run of form after romping to the French Open title.

The world number six swept past Japan's Hiroshi Toma and now faces Canada's Sarah Hunter in the next round.

Defending men's British Open champion David Hall showed he is still the man to beat as he served up a "double bagel" to Carlo Tresch.

The Australian was in impressive form as he raced to a 6-0 6-0 win over the Swiss while second seed Holland's Robin Ammerlaan kept up his challenge with an easy 6-2 6-0 victory over American John Becker.

The biggest men's seed to fall on day one in Nottingham was eighth seed John Greer who lost out to Holland's Maikel Scheffers.
