LONDON - With his usual level of ruthlessness and near effortless efficiency, Roger Federer dashed home hopes of an outlandish upset at Wimbledon by easing into the third round with a straight sets victory over Britain’s Jay Clarke on Thursday.
Federer had never lost a Grand Slam match to somebody as low as Clarke in the rankings and, despite the Briton putting up a brave fight in the second set, the huge gulf in class ultimately ensured the Swiss never had to get out of second gear. Federer has played enough matches at Wimbledon to know he only needs to get the job done in the early rounds and if the 20-year-old Clarke takes one lesson from his experience on Court One, it will be the killer instinct of the game’s elite.
“There are so many things you can learn. You don’t actually need to ask a lot of questions ... I think I had two breakpoints ... and he aced me in different directions. Maybe I’ll learn a bit better for the next time.”
