Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick continued his pursuit of a first title at the All England Club with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win over Victor Hanescu in the second round Wednesday.  "I felt pretty good... I served well,  I returned well," evaluated Roddick.  "I was aggressive coming forward. We finished with a little bit of light left, so all in all it was a good day."

Seeded No. 8, Roddick was virtually untouchable on his first serve, winning 93 per cent of those points, which included 15 aces. Roddick attributed the strong serving performance to a change he made to his grip prior to his arrival at SW19. "I was serving in the 50s this year up until whenever I came over here, and that's not really right for me," said Roddick. " I was having to kind of force my serve a little bit. I went home with a shoulder injury, came back, and kind of fiddled a little bit... it was just a slight little grip change. It was good."

The American broke the Romanian in the final game of the match to lock up his fourth win in four meetings with Hanescu, winning all nine sets they’ve played.

In the third round, Roddick will play Feliciano Lopez. The Spaniard defeated former Wimbledon semi-finalist Rainer Schuettler 7-6(3), 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-2 to advance.

Dmitry Tursunov edged Ernests Gulbis 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(12), 7-6(1) to win his first match at a Grand Slam event since the 2008 US Open. The Russian overcame 24 aces served by Gulbis to even his record against the Latvian to one win a piece. Tursunov will play No. 11 seed Jurgen Melzer in a second round clash Thursday.
