Federer 6-2 3-1 Clement*
Federer wrong-foots Clement with a forehand down the line before hitting the line with a rasping forehand with an open wing-span. This is pretty merciless from the world number one, Clement is being monstered - another service game to love, the Federer of the first round a dim and distant memory.

The Swiss attacking Clement's forehand, which is looking weak as water at the moment, and inevitably Clement hands Federer the break with a forehand long.

John McEnroe on BBC TV: "Playing Clement allows Roger to get back into his rhythm and flow and dictate the type of tennis he wants to play out there. He's flaying someone where he knows that every single return game he is going to be in.

*Federer 2-1 Clement
My theory might already be unravelling. Clement brilliantly holds to love. Oh and by the way, the only man to have won a Grand Slam title in the Open Era having come from two sets down in his first-round match is Pat Rafter. US Open 1998, to be precise.

Federer 2-0 Clement*
The top seed consolidates his break with a commanding service hold. When it comes to sporting predictions I'm well known within BBC Towers for sticking my neck on the line and get it spectacularly wrong. But today I can't see anything other than Federer in straight sets. Agree?

*Federer 1-0 Clement
Dodgy start from Monsieur Clement, who has won just three of his 10 previous meetings with the defending champion. Two break points to Federer. On the first, he drills a backhand into the tramlines. On the second, Clement volleys long. Federer breaks. Simple as that.

1705: Centre Court not quite at capacity for this one. Clement, trademark bandana, wrap-around shades and all, to serve first.

1703: And before anyone objects to me branding Clement "old", I must point out that he's the oldest man left in the draw at 32.

1700: The 16-time Grand Slam champion is back on court today and standing in his way of a place in round four is that wily old Frenchman Arnaud Clement.

1655: In the Open Era, only one man has lifted a Grand Slam title after coming from two sets down to win his first-round match. Is Roger Federer going to become the second?
