Gasquet falls to Baghdatis

Cyprus's Marcos Baghdatis has seen off French 16th seed Richard Gasquet to book his spot in the third round of the men's Olympic singles at Wimbledon.

In a tight opening set the world number 40 snatched a late break on his way to a 6-4 win.

There was again little to seperate the two men in the second but crowd favourite Baghdatis found another decisive break to seal the victory 6-4.

The Cypriot will play the winner of British third seed Andy Murray's match with Finland's Jarrko Nieminen, which will take place on Centre Court later today.
