The second round of the 2012 Championships at Wimbledon got underway on Wednesday on the famous grass courts of the world's most well-known Grand Slam event. While the men's second round matches are just beginning, one of the tournament's top seeds has had little trouble already advancing.
Men's No. 3 seed Roger Federer had little difficulty dispatching opponent Fabio Fognini, defeating the unseeded Italian player in three dominating sets, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. Federer will now advance to the third round without having faced a significant challenge. Federer overwhelmed his first round opponent, Albert Ramos, on Monday, eliminating Ramos without ever yielding more than one game in any of the three sets.
Men's No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic and women's No. 1 seed Maria Sharapova will have their second round matches later on Wednesday.
