Federer determined to get better

Roger Federer has bad news for Sergiy Stakhovsky ahead of their second-round Wimbledon clash today; he thinks he can get better.

The seven-time SW19 champion returns to Centre Court having taken little over an hour to get going against Victor Hanescu on Monday. With Rafael Nadal already out, the chances of an eighth Swiss win on the London grass are improving and few expect Stakhovsky to get a racquet on the crowd favourite.

"Honestly, as a tennis player you can never stop working on something," Federer said. "I always believe all your strengths need work and all your weaknesses need work, whatever you might consider that is."

While Federer will walk out onto Wimbledon's main arena, Andy Murray has been slated for an appearance on Court One against Yen-Hsun Lu.

The honour of turning out on Centre goes to last year's semi-finalist, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, as he faces Ernests Gulbis, while Fernando Verdasco against Julien Benneteau will play before Murray on One.

A healthy crowd can be expected on Court Two as Lleyton Hewitt takes on Dustin Brown - the Australian is a popular figure and carries an army of 'Fanatics' around with him.

"It's fantastic to walk out there. I know we have the Fanatic boys in the crowd and they enjoy wins as much as I do. It's good that I can put on a show."

There will also be increased interest on Court 17 as Steve Darcis, the slayer of Nadal, returns to action.

He plays Lukas Kobot for a place in the third round - that would match his best-ever grand slam return - in the final game of the day.
