Federer Cruises to Third Round
Published at
ANDREW YATES/AFP/GettyImages(WIMBLEDON, England) — Roger Federer wasn’t tested in his second round match against Fabio Fognini on Wednesday.
With Prince Charles making his first trip to Wimbledon for the first time since 1970, Federer downed Fognini 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 to move onto the third round.
Federer was dominant as could be on Centre Court.
“I’m just happy overall with how I’m playing,” Federer said. “I’m serving well when I have to. I’m moving well. I feel like my forehand and backhand are working well. All of a sudden you win quite comfortably, but you have to focus until the very last point, and I’m happy as well with my concentration level.”
Both Federer and Fognini bowed awkwardly toward the royals, and Charles gave them a wave.
“They do brief you beforehand,” Federer said. “I guess you don’t do anything stupid. You behave. Obviously we were asked to bow, which is obviously no problem to do. We’re thrilled for the tennis family that they came to watch Wimbledon today.”
