'For the first time since 1912, the USA will not have a male representative in the third round of the men’s singles at Wimbledon.

World No 1, Serbian Novak Djokovic made short work of dispatching the last American standing, Bobby Reynolds, under the Centre Court roof last night.

Any hopes of an American win now lie firmly in the women’s draw, but with Serena Williams' performance this week, things are looking like she could compensate all on her own at the moment.'
