---

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Five-time champion Roger Federer won his third-round match in straight sets at Wimbledon on Friday.

After rain forced play to be delayed for 90 minutes, the top-seeded Federer rolled over France's Marc Gicquel, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. The Swiss Federer, looking to capture his sixth consecutive title here, extended his grass-court winning streak to 62 matches.

The top-seeded/world No. 1 Federer is also now riding a 37-match winning streak at Wimbledon. Bjorn Borg holds the record with 41 straight victories.
