Defending champion Roger Federer has cruised into the fourth round of Wimbledon after beating Frenchman Arnaud Clement in straight sets.
After dropping sets in each of the first two rounds, the second-seeded Federer advanced 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 in just over an hour and a half on Centre Court on Friday.
Federer made only 11 unforced errors and reeled off 29 winners to Clement's 17.
Federer, who is aiming for his 17th Grand Slam title and seventh at the All England Club, will play 16th-seeded Austrian Jurgen Melzer on Monday for a berth in the quarterfinals. Federer has never played Melzer.
