Phillip Kohlschreiber beats Brian Baker in three sets

Phillip Kohlschreiber has booked his spot in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon by beating Brian Baker 6-1 7-6 6-3.

The German was in control for the majority of the encounter and produced some superb shots in the first set, breaking Baker's serve twice to wrap up the opener 6-1.

Baker improved in the second set and the accuracy of his serves forced a tie-breaker but Kohlschreiber showed great composure to win the decider 7-4 to take a 2-0 lead.

Kohlschreiber had clearly rocked his American opponent and although Baker showed determination in the third set, Kohlschreiber only needed one break point to set up a quarter-final clash with either Mardy Fish or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
