Querry getting to the Quarter Final by beating Gasquet and then Berdych in the 3rd and 4th rounds.
Lleyton Hewitt just dispatched no11 seed Stanislas Wawrinka 6-4 7-5 6-3.
Lleyton Hewitt won Wimbledon in 2002 and has the capability of doing much better than his ranking suggests.
Heather Watson - Out!
Heather Watson was outgunned by American teenager Madison Keys to become the seventh Briton to lose in the first round at Wimbledon.
The 21-year-old from Guernsey went down 6-3 7-5 in the opening match on Court Two, leaving Andy Murray as the only British player so far to reach round two.
Laura Robson has won the first set against the number 10 seed and has just broken Kirilenko's serve in the second
And it gets better as Laura Robson has broken Kirilenko's serve again and is leading in the second set 4 games to 1.

I love Lleyton H - used to detest him when he was a youngster as he was a proper sulky brat - he has matured - a real fighter - goes for everything - I like that in a tennis player.
Laura Robson has beaten the number 10 seed Maria Kirilenko 6-3, 6-4
I was beginning to think that Andy Murray would be the only Brit to get through the first round!
Well done Laura Robson - that is an impressive win!
Does anyone know who she will face next?

Cheers MrsH!
The benefit of beating a top seed in the first round â you get an easier (on paper at least) opponent in the next round!
Maria Duque-Marino is ranked 117 in the world so Laura Robson will be favourite to win. But she beat Julia Goerges who is ranked 36 and Laura Robson is ranked 38.
Seeds tumbling like ninepins today!
All the seeds are schduled to play unseeded players in bothe the first and second rounds. So if you've beaten a seed in your first round match then your second round match will be against another unseeded player, so theoretically it shoud be an easier match.
On paper all third round matches should be between seeded players. So if you are an unseeded player in the third round there is a possibility that even if you are playing a seed, it could be a lower seed than the one that you beat in the first round - but there are several possibilities here, including that the third round is the first time you meet a seed or even that you get through to the fourth round without having played a seed at all!
What a shame - Steve Darcy (sp) the guy who beat Nadal has gad to withdraw because of a shoulder injury .....I bet he's gutted. At age 29 - will he ever get a chance like that again? Shame.
I watched Puig vs Soler-Espinoza on the BBC website earlier:
6-2 5-7 6-4
Monica Puig powered her way to the win but it was a much harder match than her shock victory against Errani on Monday. Still, sheâs into R3 at her first Wimbledon â having also made R3 at her first French open just a few weeks ago.

Doubtful! He must be gutted.
Azarenka pulls out of Wimbledon
Victoria Azarenka is one of five players to pull out of Wimbledon on Wednesday after failing to overcome a knee injury.
Ivanovic knocked out in second round
Number 12 seed Ana Ivanovic is knocked out of Wimbledon, losing 6-3 6-3 to world number 66 Eugenie Bouchard.
Bouchard is a promising Canadian - one to watch out for.
No.9 seed Caroline Wozniacki loses 6-2 6-2 to Petra Cetkovska.
Not sure Wozniacki exiting early is a shock or a surprise though...
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has now withdrawn due to injury.
That's a shame - so many injuries today.
The number 3 seed Maria Sharpova out beaten 3-6, 4-6 by Michelle Larcher de Brito.
Hacker T. Dog - from the BBC LiveSport feed earlier today.
Comfortable win for Andy Murray beating Yen-Hsun Li 6-3, 6-3, 7-5
His 3rd round match is against the 32 seed Tommy Robredo.
Weather at Wimbledon not looking good from Thursday early evening and much of Friday with rain forecast. Drier by Saturday onwards.
Nadal out in the 1st round... Federer out in the 2nd round - this is crazy; but surely increases the chances for Andy Murray?

I will agree if Djorcavic (sp) goes too

Djokovic is my favourite, hope he carries on.
