British number three Katie Boulter earned her first Wimbledon win to join compatriots Johanna Konta and Katie Swan in the second round.
The in-form 21-year-old, who has climbed to 122nd in the world, won 6-4 5-7 6-4 against Veronica Cepede Royg.
But Naomi Broady lost to defending champion Garbine Muguruza, while Gabriella Taylor was also knocked out.
British teenager Jay Clarke fell agonisingly short on his Grand Slam debut in the men's draw.
The wildcard lost in five sets to former world number 10 Ernests Gulbis, going down 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-4 in three hours 16 minutes against the Latvian.
Clarke, 19, who is ranked 218 in the world, was making his first Grand Slam singles appearance and playing his fourth ATP Tour level match.
Broady lost 6-2 7-5 to Spanish third seed Muguruza, while Taylor was beaten 6-0 4-6 6-3 by 2014 runner-up Eugenie Bouchard.
Fellow Britons Heather Watson and Katy Dunne play later on Tuesday.
British number ones Kyle Edmund and Konta both progressed safely to the second round.

Boulter shows mental strength to win
Boulter, who was ranked in the world's top 10 as a junior, has climbed up the senior rankings after an impressive year.
She has won two ITF tournaments - the tier below the main WTA tour - and beat former US Open champion Sam Stosur at Nottingham last month.
So it meant she would have been confident of beating Paraguay's Cepede Royg, who has dropped below Boulter in the rankings and never won a main-draw match at Wimbledon.
Boulter hit 11 winners and four aces, making just four unforced errors, in a tidy first set, breaking again early in the second.
She missed a match point at 5-4, hitting a forehand from the baseline into the net, allowing Cepede Royg to recover and take the match into a decider.
But Boulter broke at a crucial time for a 5-4 lead, serving out for victory by taking her second match point with a deft touch which Cepede Royg could not reach.
"I just put my heart out there and luckily I got the win," she told BBC Sport.
"One thing about me is I will never give in. Whatever the score, I will be working hard."
Clarke impresses despite defeat

Clarke has travelled as part of the Great Britain Davis Cup team in the past, as well as practising with Andy Murray before Grand Slams.
He faced an opponent in Latvia's Gulbis, the 2014 French Open semi-finalist, who was far more experienced - but for the most part, Clarke produced the more mature performance.
Gulbis was erratic, hitting 53 winners and 43 unforced errors, while the British teenager showed off his impressive athleticism and mental attitude in forcing a decider after losing a third-set tie-break.
Clarke looked the better player in the fifth set but his first serve faltered at 4-4 and Gulbis earned the crucial break before going on to complete the victory in the following game.
Despite an encouraging performance, the British number five said it would take a few days for him to see the positives from the defeat.
"I'm not happy at all. I'm very sad with how it ended," added the wildcard.
"He's been 10 in the world, reached semis in Slams and had a couple of good wins here so there will be a lot of positives to take, but they are tough to see right now."
