The Indian challenge at the junior Wimbledon championships ended after Sudarwa Sitaram was beaten in straight sets by Australia's Bernard Tomic on Tuesday.

The unseeded Indian lost the second round match 2-6, 2-6 in 42 minutes.

Sitaram was broken twice in the first set and thrice in the second set. He committed four double faults compared to none by last year's junior Australian Open champion. The only break he earned was in the second set.

India's junior Australian Open champion Yuki Bhambri skipped the championships, opting to play in the ongoing ITF Futures tournament to improve his ranking.
