Roger Federer produced a sublime show to make Wimbledon's last 32 with a straight sets victory over Sam Querrey.

The 33-year-old from Switzerland looks in good form to push for an eighth title at Wimbledon title and overcame the American 6-4 6-2 6-2 in just one hour 25 minutes.

Federer has yet to drop a set in his opening two matches and will now face Australian Sam Groth and could be in line for a showdown with Andy Murray in the semi-finals.

The number two seed struggled at times in the opening set with his opponent's service missiles but he swiftly settled and eased over the line.

Federer even pulled off arguably the shot of the tournament so far in the second set - a between-the-legs lob that helped him break for 5-2.

On the shot described by some as a "hot-dog lob", Federer said:  "It just felt like I had the time, but it can look a bit silly if you don't win the point."
