    The crowd loved this. They didn't expect the match to be this close or entertaining.

    Roger was frustrated for a good bit but the way he ended will make him feel a whole lot better.

    We have a winner!

    Roger Federer serves an ace through the middle to see off Guido Pelle. 

    Centre Court rise to their feet in appreciation. 

    It wasn't a vintage performance from the Swiss, but Argentine Pelle put up a very decent fight.

    The Centre Court crowd quietly chortle as Gudio Pelle comes zooming into the net to meet a Roger Federer tap-over and falls over on his bum.

    It seemed to throw the Argentine off his stride a little as, from 0-30, Federer recovers to hold. 

    We're still going with serve in this one. It's like a defensive game of chess.

    A beaut of backhand sees Britain's Dan Evans beat Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany in four sets.

    It means the British number six is into the second round at SW19 for the first time and he claims his first ever main draw match.

    Well done that man.

    I have not seen Pella play a great deal, but I have some, and his serve has got better and better.

    This has been extremely educational to watch guy like this, a player who 80 per cent of people don't know him. 

    For Roger though, he doesn't show it, but he is frustrated right now.

    Much as England skipper Wayne Rooney would love to be at Centre Court with his wife Coleen, the Manchester United striker/midfielder has other matters on his mind.

    England, of course, take on Iceland for a place in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals from 20:00 BST.

    I am surprised Pella has got Roger unsettled enough that he is overhitting and making uncharacteristic mistakes.
