Roger Federer has breezed into the third round at Wimbledon with a 6-1 6-3 6-2 over Italy's Fabio Fognini.

The third seed hit an impressive 35 winners and 13 aces, while he only made eight unforced errors and lost only four points on his first serve as he totally dominated his opponent. The six-time Wimbledon champion took only 74 minutes to see off Fognini - to add to the 79 minutes it took to see off Albert Ramos in round one - and he will face either Michael Russell or Julien Benneteau next. Federer is bidding to equal Pete Sampras' tally of seven Wimbledon titles and said after the match he was happy with his focus and "concentration levels" in these early rounds. "I think I played a great first round and great second round and I am very pleased with how I am playing overall," said Federer. "The seeds might be coming my way now which will probably be more difficult but we will see how it goes. I have a day to prepare and hopefully I will play well on Friday." Elsewhere at Wimbledon on Wednesday there were two major shocks, as women's fifth seed Samantha Stosur was knocked out, beaten 6-2 0-6 6-4 defeat to Arantxa Rus. Former world number one and seventh seed Caroline Wozniacki was also dumped out on the third day, going down 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 in the first round to Tamira Paszek.
