Ferrer survives Alund scare

David Ferrer has seen off world number 101 Martin Alund in four sets to make it through to round two of Wimbledon.

The Spanish fourth seed eased past the Argentine 6-1 in the opener, but Alund fought back to level the contest 6-4.

Ferrer continued to battle in his inimitable way and clinched the third 7-5 before winning 6-2 in the fourth to progress.

He will now face fellow Spaniard Roberto Bautista-Agut for the opportunity to play in the third round.
