Myskina struggles through

Russian number nine seed Anastasia Myskina made heavy weather of securing her place in the last 16 at Wimbledon, coming through an epic, near three-hour battle with Jelena Jankovic before rain stopped play at the All England Club this afternoon.

The 2004 French Open champion had sailed through the first set 6-0, but then lost concentration as the 17th-seeded Serbia and Montenegro player rallied.
