DAN EVANS sailed into the third round of Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Alexsandr Dolgopolov - to set up a showdown with Roger Federer.
Dan Evans wasted no time making the third round of Wimbledon
Evans made light work of Ukrainian Dolgopolov to triumph 7-6, 6-4, 6-1 on Court No 2.
And the British No 2 was rewarded for his efforts with a showpiece clash with Wimbledon legend Federer, who overcame new crowd favourite Marcus Willis last night.
Evans, from Birmingham, earned himself a guaranteed £80,000 prize money and 90 ranking points after beating Dolgopolov.
"It's going to be good fun and an amazing experience," the 26-year-old said.
"I have got to prepare like I have a chance to win the match.
"I have to put to the back of my mind that he is one of the best players ever to play the game."
