Federer breezes into third round

Defending champion Roger Federer today breezed into the third round of Wimbledon with a ruthless demolition of Alejandro Falla.

Federer had not been in action since Monday afternoon’s straight-sets victory over Britain’s Alex Bogdanovic due to the bad weather, but looked in equally commanding form on court one.

The world number one and top seed was simply a class apart from his 20-year-old Colombian opponent, who had to battle through qualifying at Roehampton last week, racing to a 6-1 6-2 6-0 victory in just 54 minutes.
