The British number one eased to a straight sets victory with a 6-3 6-1 win against Duque-Marino who had to qualify to reach the main draw.

After a shaky start from both players Robson soon found her form and her attacking game was too much for the Colombian in the opening set.

"It's a big win for me. Any match on Centre Court is a big one and it was a great atmosphere out there," Robson told BBC Sport.

In just one hour 13 minutes Robson cruised to victory in the second set conceding only one game to wrap up the match in true style.

Robson will play Marina Erakovic of New Zealand in the third round tomorrow.
