Federer, Djokovic Advance at Wimbledon

By ESPN

Roger Federer ended British qualifier Marcus Willis' feel-good Wimbledon run on Wednesday, while top-seeded Novak Djokovic achieved another Grand Slam milestone with his second-round victory.

Federer swept past the 772nd-ranked left-hander 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 in a match played under the Centre Court roof on a rainy day at the All England Club.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion won the first seven games and was always in control. Willis was the lowest-ranked qualifier to reach the second round at a Grand Slam since 1988.

"It was very refreshing to play against an opponent like this," Federer said. "I always knew it was going to be a completely different match than everything that I've played before here at Wimbledon."

Djokovic, the defending Wimbledon champion, won his 30th straight match at a major tournament Wednesday, sweeping into the third round with a clinical 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (5) victory over Adrian Mannarino under the roof on Centre Court.

The win gave Djokovic sole ownership of third place on the all-time list for most consecutive victories in Grand Slam play. Only Rod Laver with 31 and Don Budge with 37 have won more in a row.

Djokovic hasn't lost a Grand Slam match since falling to Stan Wawrinka in the 2015 French Open final. He hasn't dropped a set so far this week as he bids for a fourth Wimbledon title, fifth straight Grand Slam championship and 13th major overall.
