    And here is the winner, Fabio Fognini: "I am very happy and pleased to have won, but now I am exhausted.

    "I'm into the last 16 at my favourite Grand Slam and must get ready for my next match. I'll have a shower, have some food, have a massage...!"

    And the Italian will play the winner of Marin Cilic's third-round meeting with Steve Johnson.

    That might slightly go down as a missed opportunity. There were errors in that last service game but you have to give Fognini credit.

    Experience is going to be great for Kyle. He might think he had a couple of opportunities and he blew it.

    This is Edmund's favourite surface - he'll be good on the hardcourt and has a good all-around game for grass.
