Spain's Nicolas Almagro has booked his place in the third round of Wimbledon with a deserved win over French qualifier Guillaume Rufin.

The number 12 seed looked in control through out the match, but suffered the occasional scare during the 6-2 5-7 6-2 6-4 victory.

It took the 26-year-old two hours and five minutes to see off his opponent, who is ranked at 168 in the world.

The result sees the Spaniard equal his personal best at the Championships, having reached round three in 2009 and 2011.

Almagro will take on Richard Gasquet in the third round, who overcame Belgian qualifier Ruben Bemelmans.
