LONDON, July 2 — Roger Federer moved up a gear as he produced a far more polished performance in his second round demolition of Frenchman Richard Gasquet at Wimbledon on Thursday beating him 7-6 , 6-1, 6-4.
Landmarks and Federer go hand in hand and on Thursday he became the oldest man in 46 years to reach the Wimbledon third round — Ken Rosewall was 40 when he made the third round at the All England Club in 1975.“Cam is a good guy and is having a wonderful year. He has done well here but it’s time for him to go out!” said Federer.
It is the first time three British men have reached the third round since 1999, when Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski and Danny Sapsford reached the last 32. Men’s second seed Daniil Medvedev made short work of 18-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, the youngest player in the men’s draw. Alexander Zverev, like Medvedev, has yet to flourish at Wimbledon but the German dismissed Tennys Sandgren, 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 in a match played in good hearted hunmour.Zverev and Medvedev could meet in the semi-finals.
Barty produced an error-strewn performance in her 6-4, 6-3 win over Russia’s Anna Blinkova as she progressed to a third round meeting with Czech Katerina Siniakova.“A few points here and there it could have been a different story.”Krejcikova brushed aside second round opponent German veteran Andrea Petkovic 7-5, 6-4.
