Federer in the mood as Nadal forced to find A-game

Seven-time champion Roger Federer put on an evening masterclass after world number one Rafael Nadal laboured his way through to the third round at Wimbledon.

A breezy win over Gilles Muller of Luxembourg under the roof on Centre Court carried Federer through, while Nadal found a way past old foe Lukas Rosol on the same stage after staving off a major scare.

Swiss fourth seed Federer – aiming to eclipse the record of seven open era titles that he shares with Pete Sampras – cruised to a 6-3 7-5 6-3 win over Muller in barely an hour and a half.
