Lleyton Hewitt eased into the second round at Wimbledon with a straight sets victory over Robby Ginepri of the United States on Tuesday.
The Australian took an hour and 31 minutes to dispatch his first-round opponent 6-4 6-1 6-1.
He next faces No.5 seed Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, who also had an easy first-round victory, beating Frenchman Arnaud Clement 6-3 6-1 6-2.
Hewitt slipped to a 4-1 deficit in the opening set before finding his rhythm.
He completely dominated the second set, however, breaking the American with a blazing forehand return to convert his second set point.
Ginepri called for the trainer in the break and twice between games in the third set for treatment to the left side of his neck.
After a tight beginning, Hewitt broke through for a 3-1 lead and from there easily booked his place in the next round.
