Roger Federer overcame the big-serving Sam Groth in four sets to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon.

The Swiss second seed, 33, lost his first set of the tournament but eventually won 6-4 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-2.

Despite firing the second-fastest serve in Wimbledon history with a 147mph effort, Australian Groth, 27, was outclassed by the seven-time champion.
