Gael Monfils overcame Paolo Lorenzi 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) to set up a third-round meeting with 2017 Wimbledon semifinalist Sam Querrey. 

After hitting just four winners in the opening set, the 44th-ranked Monfils improved to a total of 49 for the match and reached the third round at the All England Club for the seventh time in his career. 

The Frenchman has never been beyond that stage and to do so will have to defeat 11th-seeded Querrey. 

Querrey earlier eased past Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the third round for a third successive year. 

Last year Querrey defeated Andy Murray to reach his first Grand Slam semifinal, where he was defeated by Marin Cilic.

Serena Williams is currently out on Centre Court where she's up against Viktoriya Tomova. She leads 4-1 in the first set and looks to be finding her stride.

Samuel Lovett4 July 2018 16:51
1530719605

Make that 5-1...

She sealed the point with a fierce overhead volley that Tomova could only stand and watch. After a somewhat cagey opening set against Rus in the first round, this is far more dominant from the American.

Oh dear, we look set for our latest shock of the tournament. Caroline Wozniacki is currently 4-1 in the third and final set of her match against Ekaterina Makarova. 

Elsewhere, Kevin Anderson won the first set 6-1 in his clash with Andreas Seppi on No.2 Court.

And Williams is still cruising in her match. She's 2-1 up in the second set.

Madison Keys finds big-serving men racking up the points as they belt down one ace after another boring, the American admitted at Wimbledon on Wednesday.

Tenth-seeded Keys, who reached the third round with a 6-4 6-3 victory over Luksika Kumkhum of Thailand, is one of the biggest servers on the women's circuit.

Her compatriots Sam Querrey and John Isner are among the biggest servers in the men's game but Keys was not too complimentary of their ability to pound their way past opponents.

"I'm going to be totally honest with you. I find it kind of boring," the 23-year-old told reporters.

"Sorry, but just because it seems like they just hit like 312 aces a match."

Tomova is putting up more of a fight in the second set. After being a break point down, she clung on to take the game back to deuce before then going on to win it. Williams to serve up next.

Caroline Wozniacki might (and I mean MIGHT) have just turned her match around with Ekaterina Makarova. The Russian had match point at 5-3 but Australian Open turned play around to break her opponent. It's now 5-4 with the Dane to serve. What an escape this would be.

Serena Williams enjoyed her Centre Court return and comfortably made her way into the third round.

The seven-time champion had not graced the main show court since her 2016 final win over Angelique Kerber but it was like she had never been away against unseeded Viktoriya Tomova.

Williams was in total control and overpowered the Bulgarian to win 6-1 6-4.

Second seed Caroline Wozniacki became the biggest casualty of the tournament so far as she was a second-round loser to Ekaterina Makarova.

The Dane, who won in Eastbourne last week, lost to the Russian 6-4 1-6 7-5 on Court One.

Wozniacki's exit means half of the top 10 seeds have been dumped out in the opening two rounds.
