Kerber "feeling good" after second-round win

Angelique Kerber has said that she is "feeling good" after cruising into the second round of Wimbledon.

The 10th seed followed up her 6-0 6-0 win in the first round with a 7-5 6-2 success against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to set up a third-round meeting with Garbine Muguruza, who is seeded 20th.

The German told reporters: "I'm feeling good, I'm playing good on grass and I like to play on this surface so I'm really having fun out there and trying to play good tennis.

"I knew [Pavlyuchenkova] very well because we've played a lot of times before. The first set was very close, I mean she was playing very good tennis, but I was just trying to be tougher than her and just fighting for every point."

Kerber previously reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2012, and made the last eight last year.
