Ferrero was left shellshocked as the the British number two stormed to a 6-1 6-4 6-4 win on Centre Court, setting up a fourth round match with Croat Goran Ivanisevic next week after the former Wimbledon finalist defeated US superkid Andy Roddick in four sets.

Ivanisevic will be joined in the next round by Pete Sampras, who disposed of Sargis Sargsian, 6-4 6-4 7-5 on court one.

Jennifer Capriati made her way into the fourth round with a win over Russia's Tatiana Panova, 6-4 6-4.

Seeded 32nd, Panova stunned her American opponent to lead the second set 4-1 but Capriati fought back magnificently to claim the next five games and her place in the next round.
