Comfortable win for Laura Robson beating Mariana Duque-Marino 6-4, 6-1 to get to the third round at Wimbledon for the first time. Her third round match is against Marina Erakovic (world ranked 71).

A further (but less dramatic) upset in the men's singles as Janowicz (the number 24 seed) beats Almagro (the number 15 seed).
Andy Murray's match further delayed as they close the roof again and get the atmosphere adjusted. It was achieved quite quickly, so the match is due in around 10 minutes.

4 - 3 Murray, 2nd set
Although Murray won his first two matches in straight sets against unseeded players, it seems to me that they were harder matches than this one, against a fellow seed, is turning out to be.

Game, Set and Match to Murray 6-2 6-4 7-5
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.
As darkness descended over Wimbledon on Friday evening and play was suspended Puig closed 4-6 1-2 and in serious trouble against Czech doubles specialist Eva Birnerova - a player ranked well outside the top 100 in singles.
Djokovic vs Chardy on centre court today should be straight forward - but worth watching.
Robson second on court 2 this afternoon should be comfortable (hopefully) despite playing consecutive days i doubt that she used up too much energy in her R2 win.
