Second seed Kim Clijsters booked her place in the last 16 at Wimbledon – but was made to work hard for a 6-3 6-2 victory by Jie Zheng of China.

Playing on Court Two – the “graveyard of champions” – the 23-year-old at times looked sluggish as she failed to capitalise on several chances before eventually wearing down the world number 37.
