Serena, Venus, Roger, Novak in action on Day 5 at Wimbledon

Djokovic made light work of France’s Adrian Mannarino to become the first man into the third round at the All England Club, winning 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7-5).

Andy Murray of Britain returns to Liam Broady of Britain during their men’s singles match on day two of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Tuesday, June 28, 2016.

Mannarino, ranked 55, put up spirited resistance in the third set to force a tiebreak but was ultimately swept off Centre Court by the Serbian’s laser-guided groundstrokes.

The 29-year-old Serb is on course to win the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since Rod Laver in 1969.

For once though, the storyline belonged to his opponent as the 772nd-ranked underdog Willis, the talk of the tournament so far, basked in the limelight on a day he will never forget.

Looking ahead for Federer, it looks as though the fourth round is certainly calling for the three seed as neither Evans nor Dolgopolov have hinted at any kind of recent form that can challenge the Swiss Maestro on grass. I will do my best to win the gold, but other players are coming to Brazil with the same objective. And both got the job done against low-ranked opposition.

He kept Federer on his toes with some audacious drop shots and slices and fought right to the end. That’s how I look at it.

The former, seeded 12th, beat Juan Monaco 6-1 6-4 6-3 in an hour and 23 minutes, while Pouille took five minutes longer to see off Donald Young 6-4 6-3 6-3.

Williams last won Wimbledon in 2008, and she hasn’t gone past the fourth round since 2010.

Bouchard won 6-3, 6-4, helped by a 16-6 edge in winners, in a match that concluded under the closed roof at Centre Court. “I’ll remember most of the Centre Court matches here at Wimbledon, but this one will stand out because it’s that special and probably not going to happen again for me to play against a guy 770 in the world”.

“If I was playing well and competing with Roger for a couple of sets, I was doing well”, he said.

Also shelved were second seed and French Open champion Garbine Muguruza’s second round tie against Slovakian qualifier Jana Cepelova.

British Number One Johanna Konta won her first Wimbledon match at the fifth attempt on Wednesday, seeing off Puerto Rico’s Monica Puig 6-1, 7-5 after a rain delay. In 2014, Djokovic’s quarterfinal match with Marin Cilic, he was two sets to one down, despite claiming the first set but he was victorious en route to his second Wimbledon title.

Venus, seeded No. 8, is up first on Court No. 1 against 29th-seeded Daria Kasatkina of Russian Federation in the third round.

This second-round match featured two players who couldn’t have juxtaposed one another anymore.

German Annika Beck showed few signs of fatigue on her way to a crushing 6-2, 6-1 victory against Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich to reach the third round.

Tara Moore praised the influence of her mental coach Tony Lekic after the Briton registered a first ever singles victory at a grand slam tournament when she beat Alison Van Uytvanck in the opening round.

The 36-year-old Williams, the oldest player in the women’s draw, needed almost 2½ hours to get past 20-year-old Greek qualifier Maria Sakkari 7-5, 4-6, 6-3.

“It’s been a great benefit”.
