Almagro overcomes Rufin test

Nicolas Almagro has reached the third round of Wimbledon thanks to a four-set victory over France's Guillaume Rufin.

Spaniard Almagro, seeded 15th, took the opening set 7-5 before Rufin clinched the second 8-6 in a toughly-contested tie-break.

However, the world number 16 had enough to come through the next two sets 6-3 6-4 and seal his progress.

Almagro's opponent in round three is Polish 24th seed Jerzy Janowicz.
