Davydenko's 6-4 6-4 6-4 loss was his fifth first-round exit in seven appearances at the All England Club.

Second seed Rafael Nadal came through a surprisingly strenuous workout 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7/0) against German qualifier Andreas Beck before moving into the second round on Centre Court.

Last year's beaten semi-finalist Richard Gasquet brushed aside Mardy Fish and move into the second round at Wimbledon with a 6-3 6-4 6-2 cakewalk, leaving American Fish, who had twice previously reached the third round, with no chance to make an impression.

It proved a good day for French players, with 14th seed Paul-Henri Mathieu recovering from a poor first set to ultimately overwhelm Spaniard Oscar Hernandez 3-6 6-2 6-0 6-2.

The 16th seed Radek Stepanek impressed in overcoming Czech Jan Hernych in straight sets, while other winning seeds included Jarkko Nieminen, Nicolas Kiefer and Tommy Robredo.

Elsewhere, Rising Latvian star Ernests Gulbis beat big-serving American John Isner 7-5 7-5 6-7 (3/7) 7-6 (8/6).

Jonas Bjorkman's 15-year Wimbledon singles career came to an end when the 36-year-old Swede was beaten 4-6 7-6 (7/4) 6-4 7-6 (7/4) by Frenchman Arnaud Clement.

Croatian 26th seed Ivan Ljubicic was the second seed to fall on Tuesday as he went down 6-4 7-6 (9/7) 4-6 2-6 6-3 to Austria's Jurgen Melzer.

James Blake also progressed on Tuesday, the ninth seed coming from a set down to beat Belgian Christophe Rochus 3-6 6-3 6-1 6-4.
