Stefanos Tsitsipas marches on with little fuss at Wimbledon
Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas romped into the third round at Wimbledon with an accomplished 6-2 6-3 7-5 victory over Australian Jordan Thompson under the new roof on Court One.
The 23-year-old Greek displayed none of the jitters that lost him a set against qualifier Alexander Ritschard in the first round on Tuesday, breaking Thompson's serve twice in each of the first two sets and winning the match when the Australian put a forehand long after a tight rally.
Thompson, 28, and ranked 76 in the world has never beaten a top-10 player at a Grand Slam tournament and was upset when the umpire overruled a line call, earning his opponent a break point in the seventh game of the second set.
He thumped a ball in frustration when Tsitsipas took the set while the Greek, who next meets another Australian - temperamental showman Nick Kyrgios - kept his cool on the other side of the net.

Liam Broady made the third round of a slam for the first time with a stunning comeback win to beat 12th seed Diego Schwartzman in five sets.
The duo had met at the same stage at the All England Club last year and the Argentinian proved too strong, which looked to be the case again when he reeled off 11 games in a row to take control of the round two tie.
Broady dug deep and after he edged a fourth set tie-breaker, the world 132 had the momentum and clinched a career-best result 6-2 4-6 0-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 in three hours and 47 minutes
