Prajnesh lost his match in straight sets.

In a forgettable outing, India's Prajnesh Gunneswaran bowed out of Wimbledon Qualifiers on Tuesday after losing in straight sets to British wild card Arthur Fery, who is not ranked even inside top-1000.

The left-handed Indian, ranked 148, lost 1-6, 6-7 to his 18-year-old rival, who is ranked as low as 1038.
