British interest in Wimbledon's singles qualifying was ended by defeats for Emily Webley-Smith and Gabi Taylor at Roehampton.
Webley-Smith, who reached the second round of the main Wimbledon draw in 2004, fought back to level her match with Danka Kovinic but the 29-year-old eventually went out against the sixth-seeded world No107 from Montenegro 6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
The teenager Taylor had beaten Sofia Arvidsson, a former world No29, to progress to round three of qualifying but could not reproduce that form as she lost 6-3, 6-4 to Tereza Smitkova of the Czech Republic.
Hopes in the men's draw were over on Tuesday after Oli Golding and Brydan Klein lost.
