Federer, Murray cruise into third round at Wimbledon

Federer sees off Querrey while 2013 winner Murray beats Haase with ease.

        Roger Federer's effortless stroll through the early stages at Wimbledon continued as he brought out the party tricks in a 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Sam Querrey to reach the third round.
 Once the Swiss seven-time champion had tamed the American's hefty serve, he cruised through the match, even managing to lob his statuesque opponent with a shot through his legs in the second set.
Querrey began with a tenacious effort to peg Federer back, but the Swiss, chasing an 18th grand slam title, broke in the ninth game of the first set and never looked back.
He broke twice more in each of the second and third sets and finished it off in an hour and 21 minutes to set up a clash with Australia's Sam Groth.

 

 

 

 

     Murray through
Andy Murray was at his imperious best as he jettisoned Dutchman Robin Haase 6-1, 6-1, 6-4.
The 2013 champion showed none of chinks that led him to being broken three times in a set on Tuesday, appearing to be on auto pilot as he bullied Haas into submission on a humid Court One.
The Scot dropped only one point on serve in the first set, saved the only break point he faced in the second and finished off his 78th-ranked opponent with a flourish.
The third seed will next face either Italian Andreas Seppi or rising Croatian talent Borna Coric.
