Tarvet was cheered on by his coaches, family and girlfriend Helaena Staebler from his player’s box.
Helaena, 20, caught the eye from the stands in a stunning low-cut blue dress.
Tarvet, who is making his Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon, plays college tennis for the University of San Diego.
It was there where he met brunette beauty Helaena and they have been together for a year.
St Albans-born Tarvet is a communications major when he is not on the court and his partner from California studies biology.
The couple shared a kiss after he won his first-round match on Monday, beating Leandro Reidi in straight sets.
Tarvet won three matches in qualifying to make the main draw.
He has already banked £99,000 by making the second round at SW19.

But due to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules, Tarvet is not allowed to take winnings from competitions outside of the college set-up.
However, his coach Ryan Keckley says he is able to claim plenty of his prize money in “actual necessary expenses over the course of a calendar year”.
The odds are stacked against Tarvet versus two-time Wimbledon winner Alcaraz.
But it is a challenge he is relishing, according to girlfriend Helaena, who said: “I’ve always believed in him – it’s just what you’ve got to do.
“I have no words, I haven’t even been able to process this.
“It’s gonna be amazing, I’m very excited, I’m sure he’s very excited as well.”
