Wimbledon 10th seed Kei Nishikori has breezed into the third round of this year's tournament with a 6-3 6-2 6-1 win over Denis Kudla of the United States.

The Japanese player got off to a great start in the first set, holding serve before breaking at the first time of asking, but Kudla fought back immediately to bring the set back on serve.

Nishikori broke again two games later to go 4-2 up and was able to see out the rest of the set to go into a comfortable lead. He then broke immediately in the second set and again once more late on to claim it.

He was in cruise control in the third set. Kudla held serve in the opener, but from that point on Nishikori won all three of his possible break points to wrap up the match in just an hour-and-a-half.
