Men's Results
Fantastic Federer continues fine form
Roger Federer's perfect run continued as he put up a scintillating display to thwart Serbian Dusan Lajovic 7-6 (7/0), 6-3, 6-2 in their second round clash in exactly 90 minutes.
Smooth sailing for Djokovic

Del Potro dumped out by Gulbis
Ernests Gulbis sprang a Wimbledon surprise as the World No. 589 defeated former U.S. Open champion Juan Martin Del Potro 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) on Thursday. Gulbis will face three-time champion Novak Djokovic in the third round after scoring his best result in three years.

Darcis, who once beat Rafa Nadal at Wimbledon, is the eighth player to retire in the men's singles at this year's championships.
