Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams cruised effortlessly into the Wimbledon fourth round Saturday as the first week's shockwaves left just eight of the top 20 seeds still standing.
World number one Djokovic destroyed French 28th seed Jeremy Chardy, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 in just 86 minutes, in the process notching his 50th career grasscourt win. He will tackle veteran Tommy Haas for a place in the quarter-finals.
Women's defending champion Serena Williams was equally ruthless taking just over an hour to carve out a 6-2, 6-0 win over Japanese 42-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm. It was the 600th win of Williams's career as the American continued her gentle cruise towards a sixth Wimbledon title and 17th Grand Slam crown.
Laura Robson became the first British woman to make the last 16 for 15 years when she defeated New Zealand's Marina Erakovic, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.
France's Kenny De Schepper beat Argentine 22nd seed Juan Monaco, 6-4, 7-6 (10/8), 6-4 to book a last-16 spot at a major for the first time. Poland's Lukasz Kubot reached the last-16 by beating 25th seed Benoit Paire 6-1, 6-3, 6-4. De Schepper will face experienced Fernando Verdasco after the Spanish former top 10 player cruised past Latvian Ernests Gulbis, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. Russian 20th seed Mikhail Youzhny defeated Serbia's Viktor Troicki 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 and goes on to face British second seed Andy Murray. Spanish fourth seed David Ferrer managed to escape the caranage but needed five sets to beat Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-7 (6/8), 7-6 (7/2), 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.
Czech seventh seed Tomas Berdych overcame South Africa's Kevin Anderson 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 and takes on unseeded Australian Bernard Tomic who put out French ninth seed, Richard Gasquet, 7-6 (9/7), 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (7/5).
Italian 23rd seed Andreas Seppi beat Japan's Kei Nishikori, 3-6, 6-2, 6-7 (4/7), 6-1, 6-4. Seppi will face Argentine eighth seed Juan Martin Del Potro who defeated Slovenia's Grega Zemlja 7-5, 7-6 (7/3), 6-0.
In the women's draw, Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Madison Keys of the United States 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. She will face Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria who defeated Petra Martic of Croatia, 6-1, 4-6, 6-2. Chinese sixth seed Li Na survived a roller-coaster of a battle to edge Czech veteran Klara Zakopalova, 4-6, 6-0, 8-6.
The 2011 champion Petra Kvitova reached the fourth round with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 defeat of Russian 25th seed Ekaterina Makarova.
