I just went for it - Willispublished at 18:46 British Summer Time 27 June 2016
Marcus Willis on BBC Two: "I played great. I got a bit tight. I'm delighted. The boys in the corner and everyone got behind me and it really helped. Thanks to my parents who put the work in when I was younger. It's fantastic.
Asked about the £50,000 he's guaranteed in prize money, the Briton says: I've not really thought about it. I just get on with it a match at a time. I just went for it, I've got no pressure, I'm playing great tennis. I played my game, hit a couple of good passes and here I am.

BBC Sport at WimbledonIt's taken everyone's breath away. It's the manner of the performance, as well, the way he went about this - he's taken everything in his strike. What a win for him.

Game, set and match Willis!published at 18:35 British Summer Time 27 June 2016
Berankis 3-6 3-6 4-6 Willis
Easy.
A whopper of a serve down the middle and Ricardas Berankis cannot deal with the power of the Willbomb.
Willis throws his head back, whips off his bandana and heads off to hug his girlfriend (tenderly) and mates (3am dancefloor style).
He will play Roger Federer next, presuming the Swiss wins his opener.
Willis is world 773. I really cannot emphasis that enough.
There is a right old media scrum waiting for him as he comes off court.

Joel Plaja: My mate @davidmwest played Willis at Platt Fields in Manchester. It was close but @Willbomb90 had the edge on serve.
Nick Friend: I was schooled by Marcus Willis when he was 14 and I was 18 @ Latika Tennis Club! Different level to everyone else even at 14!

Robson 2-2 Kerber
Lindsay Davenport
Former Wimbledon champion on BBC TVI saw Laura in practice and she looked in better physical shape which is a good sign because it means she has been able to spend more time on the court.
The service motion looked smoother and she looked more sure of herself. She was not totally accelerating which could be because of her wrist.
I feel she is on her way back.
