After the first set Federer attacked Gasquet's forehand - by far his weaker wing - with a lot more regularity. He reaped the rewards with that tactic too, as Gasquet struggled to deal with the barrage coming from the Swiss' end of the court.Federer was also very efficient with his serve, winning 84% of his first-serve points. Overall, he struck 49 winners while committing 26 unforced errors.Cameron Norrie, meanwhile, breezed past Alex Bolt in 95 minutes. The Brit won 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 to make it to the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in his career.Norrie, who recently finished as the runner-up at Queen's, played nearly flawless tennis against Bolt after going down 3-0 in the opening set. The 25-year-old committed a mere 10 unforced errors in all, while chalking up 16 winners.Roger Federer vs Cameron Norrie head-to-headRoger Federer and Cameron Norrie have never faced each other on tour before, which is why their head-to-head currently stands at 0-0.Roger Federer vs Cameron Norrie predictionCameron NorrieRoger Federer displayed marked improvement in all aspects of his game against Richard Gasquet. But it can't be denied that the Frenchman is a mere shadow of his former self, and as such he wasn't a true test of Federer's level.That said, the Swiss fared better on his serve and forehand as the match progressed, which would have given him some confidence. On Saturday, Cameron Norrie will look to push Roger Federer's baseline game to the limit with his consistent drives off both wings. Federer struggled against Mannarino's lefty serve in the first round, and Norrie will hope for similar success with his slider out wide.The Brit will be keen to make the home fans proud on Saturday. But while he is more than capable of causing an upset, Federer seems to be regaining his game - and that might tilt the balance towards him ever so slightly.Prediction: Roger Federer to win in five sets.Roger Federer plays much better, beats Richard Gasquet 7-6(1), 6-1, 6-4 to reach the 3rd round at #Wimbledon for the 18th time.A record.Gets Cam Norrie next, a big test. pic.twitter.com/HqcH76cxvn— José Morgado (@josemorgado) July 1, 2021
