Despite playing his first match on grass in 12 months, the world number one signalled he was on course to match Swede Bjorn Borg's five successive titles this year.

"I've got so much confidence, so much experience on this surface that I always expect myself to play good matches on grass," Federer said after recording his 49th consecutive win on grass. "That's what happened today and hopefully the next match can be as good."

As shadows crept over Centre Court, Tim Henman made home fans run through the usual gamut of emotions before fading light forced play off with the Briton locked at 5-5 in the fifth set against former French Open champion Carlos Moya of Spain.
