Roger Federer overcomes sloppy start to book place in Wimbledon third round

Roger Federer will likely have to play better if he wants to win a record eighth Wimbledon title but the Swiss had more than enough to beat Dusan Lajovic and reach the third round.

Federer survived a close opening set on Centre Court and from there it was a routine victory for the 35-year-old, who won 7-6 (7/0) 6-3 6-2 in a brisk one hour and 30 minutes.
