Roger Federer ends Marcus Willis's Wimbledon dream with a straight-sets win in the second round.

Great Britain's Marcus Willis lost his second-round match to Roger Federer at Wimbledon on Wednesday, but the world number 772 was not disheartened as he closed the curtain on a dream campaign.

The 25-year-old, who had earned just over £50's worth of tennis prize money in 2016 before making it to the finals at SW19, had recently been mulling over whether or not to quit the sport.

Willis made headlines when he defeated Ricardas Berankis in the first round on Monday, but he was stopped by the 17-time Grand Slam champion.

There was a gulf in quality in the first set as Federer stormed through it unscathed in 26 minutes, but Willis did not seem troubled as he smiled after every point that he won.

The Brit managed to get three games on the board in the second set, but Federer earned one break of serve and received applause from his opponent when he wrapped up the set on serve.

Willis was strong on his serve in the early stages of the third set as he saved one break point, but he could not hold on as Federer broke before completing the match.
