Ferrer will now face Alexandr Dolgopolov in the third round after a 6-3 3-6 7-6 7-5 on Court No.1.

The world number four's match was meant to be played yesterday but because of rain the match was moved among many others to Friday.

He told BBC Sport: "I'm happy to have got the match finished. It was a tough match, he is a very good player and it was close.

"I feel better than I did at the beginning of the week. I'm improving my game. Dolgopolov's a very good talent, I will need to play solid and consistently like I did today."
