EIGHT-time champion Roger Federer continued his dominance over France’s Richard Gasquet to set up a Wimbledon third-round meeting with British number two Cameron Norrie.
Federer, 39, extended his winning record over 35-year-old Gasquet to 19-2 with a 7-6 (7-1), 6-1, 6-4 victory.
Norrie reached the last 32 for the first time with a 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 win against Australian wildcard Alex Bolt.
“I hope the crowd gets into it,” said sixth seed Federer on facing Norrie.
“I understand if they cheer for him and if it is for me it is because of the last 20 years and all the big wins I’ve had here.
“Cam is a good guy; he’s had a wonderful year and played great at Queen’s, backing that up here.”
Then the Swiss quipped: “But enough now – he needs to go out! I need to go through.”

Norrie, 25, has been one of the leading players on the ATP Tour this year, demonstrating his form and ability earlier yesterday in front of an impressed home crowd on Court One.
The 29th seed lost the first three games against Bolt before winning 11 in a row to turn around the contest.
Norrie broke twice more in the final set and was given a standing ovation after clinching victory.
When asked about the possibility of playing 20-time Grand Slam champion Federer, Norrie joked: “Come on Gasquet!”
Whether serious or not, Norrie did not get his wish but looks sure to give Federer a tough test tomorrow.
The smiling Briton added: “If there is a time to play Roger, I guess now is the best – but he is still a decent player!”

Possibly third time lucky against one of the ‘Big Three’?
Bolt, ranked 149th, was handed a wildcard after winning a Challenger title in Nottingham last month and made a lightning start as he attempted to earn a ninth successive victory.
But Norrie quickly computed what he needed to do against another left-hander, constantly making his opponent play with his relentless returning.
“It was a tricky start, he came out firing and I was down a break,” said Norrie, who beat French former world number 10 Lucas Pouille in the second round on Wednesday.
“I felt the court was easier to move on than court two yesterday and I could really trust the foot.
“I was moving really strong out the corners and didn’t give him too much. There was a lot of improvement from the other day.
“I’m very happy to be in the third round and I couldn’t be more pleased for myself.”
