Maria Sharapova reached the fourth round at Wimbledon with a 6-2 6-4 win over Katarina Srebotnik on Court One. The defending champion set the tone by breaking the unseeded Slovenian's serve three times in the opening set.

The world number 57 broke back for 3-1 and managed to pose more problems for the Russian second seed than she had encountered in her first two matches. Sharapova's game also had its glitches, and Srebotnik grew in confidence, but the outcome was never in doubt.
