Arthur Fery is the only British player left in the singles draws after beating Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen in four sets on Thursday.
The 23-year-old, ranked 114th in the world, will next face Zizou Bergs of Belgium on Saturday.
“It’s great to do it for the UK. Selfishly I am doing it for myself first – but I’m always behind the other players and wishing them success,” Fery said after his win.
“So happy with how I managed to keep my emotions in check and keep going. So happy to reach the third round.”

All-time great Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title – and an eighth at SW19, which would equal Roger Federer’s men’s record.
French Open champion Zverev and last year’s semi-finalist Flavio Cobolli are among the other contenders still in the draw.
Swiatek will be determined to retain her title but world number one Aryna Sabalenka is the favourite to win her first Wimbledon title.

What’s happened to British players in the singles draw?
Eighteen of the 19 British players who started in the singles draws have been knocked out in the first two rounds.
Katie Swan, Jacob Fearnley, Jan Choinski and Fery made it through round one – but 15 home players fell to opening-round defeats for the first time in 38 years.
Choinski won the first set against 17th seed Frances Tiafoe on Thursday but was beaten in four sets, with Swan and Fearnley beaten in straight sets by Madison Keys and Jaume Munar respectively.
The 10 losses by British players on the opening day of their home Grand Slam was the most at SW19 since daily records began in 2000.
Defeats for Katie Boulter, Toby Samuel, Jack Pinnington Jones, Billy Harris and debutant Harry Wendelken on Tuesday meant the total number of first-round losses for home players was the most since 16 exited in 1988.
Six British players were ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the singles draws, but only Choinski made it through the first round.
Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper pulled out prior to their first-round matches because of injury, while men’s number one Cameron Norrie lost to Michael Zheng in five sets on Monday and Francesca Jones and Boulter also departed.
