Youzhny sees off Pospisil

Russian 20th seed Mikhail Youzhny has beaten Canada's Vasek Pospisil in five sets in the second round of Wimbledon.

Youzhny comfortably claimed the opener 6-2 before world number 103 Pospisil fought back to win the second 7-3 in a tie-break.

It took another tie-break to separate the players in the third as Youzhny came through 9-7.

Pospisil made it two sets apiece with a 6-3 win in the fourth and he led 4-2 in the decider before the seed came back to close out the contest 6-4.

Waiting for him in the next round will be Serbia's Victor Troicki.
