LONDON: Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic marched into the business end of Wimbledon as they reached the last 16, while women’s top seed Angelique Kerber scraped through on Saturday (Sunday in Manila). Seven-time champion Federer made it into the fourth round for the 15th time with a 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4 win over Germany’s Mischa Zverev. Third seed Federer was joined by Djokovic, who fended off being a break down in the first set and taken to a tie break in the third before beating Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (7/2). The second seed next faces Adrian Manna­rino, who overturned French compatriot and 15th seed Gael Monfils in a five-setter. The German 10th seed beat Austrian qualifier Sebastian Ofner 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
