Hewitt shocks Del Potro to progress

Fifth seed Juan Martin Del Potro became Wimbledon’s biggest casualty so far this year when he was beaten in straight sets by former champion Lleyton Hewitt on Centre Court.

The Argentinian had the ranking advantage – number five in the world compared to his opponent’s 56th position – but Hewitt has the grass-court pedigree having won the title in 2002 and reached at least the fourth round for the last five years in succession.
