Roger Federer found his form on the lawns of SW19 to comfortably defeat Richard Gasquet and set up a third-round clash with Britain's Cameron Norrie.
This was a throwback match, with the pair having first met at Wimbledon 15 years ago, and, although this was not quite vintage Federer, it was certainly a great improvement on his performance against Adrian Mannarino in round one.
The eight-time champion had been two sets to one down when his French opponent slipped and suffered a knee injury that forced him to retire.
