Greg Rusedski vowed to make at least one more bid to win Wimbledon after tumbling out in a marathon second-round match with eighth seed Rainer Schuettler.

The 30-year-old Rusedski, who fell and hurt his shoulder during his 6-7 7-6 6-7 6-2 6-2 defeat, is determined to pick himself and bounce back.

The British number three, once the fourth best player in the world, has seen his ranking plummet to 165 - his lowest for 14 years - and on Friday suffered his eighth defeat in 14 matches since being cleared of doping charges in March.

But Rusedski, who needed a wild card to make his latest bid for elusive glory at the All England Club, says he intends to climb back up the rankings in time for another crack at Wimbledon next year.

"The good thing about being ranked so low, is it doesn't take much to get back up if you just start playing well," he said.

"I'd definitely like to give it at least another year, minimum, hopefully more. I'd like to be able to have at least a full schedule coming into Wimbledon next year."

Rusedski's Davis Cup team-mate Tim Henman made smooth progress though.

He beat Swiss Ivo Heuberger with a 7-5 6-3 6-2 victory moving him into round three.

Henman will now face Morocco's Hicham Arazi.

During the match Henman was criticised by former champion John McEnroe for staying back on some of his first serves, but the four-time semi-finalist insisted he had needed to change his game plan.

"I watched pretty much the whole of my first-round match and felt I was trying to do a lot of the right things on grass, but I thought it was just predictable," he said.

"I was serving and volleying all the time. When you give someone a constant target they'll get into a rhythm. I felt I was playing a lot of what I thought were pretty good slices then I look at them on TV and they just sit there.

"Today I tried to be more aggressive from the baseline to set up the rally from the net and I felt like I was beginning to be a lot more successful with that."

Goran Ivanisevic received a standing ovation from the Centre Court crowd as he fittingly ended his career at the scene of his greatest triumph.

Ivanisevic lost 6-2 6-3 6-4 in the third round to Lleyton Hewitt, the man who succeeded him as champion, in his last match before retiring from competitive tennis.

The 32-year-old then pulled on a Croatian football shirt as he enjoyed the adulation and warm evening sunshine before leaving the court where he had finally claimed the Wimbledon title at the fourth attempt against Pat Rafter three years ago.

"It was strange," said Ivanisevic, who was prevented from defending his title in 2002 through injury.

"I knew it's the last match, last point but for me it was a victory to come here and play two matches.

"Everything was perfect, the weather, the crowd, the court, I just enjoy myself and I'm happy and sad. Sad I have to leave but happy there is no more practice."

He added: "It was worth two years of therapy and struggling to come back here and finish my career at Wimbledon, best place, best court, I couldn't ask for better."

Meanwhile, Guillermo Coria's loathing of the grass was all too evident as the third seed crashed out at the second-round stage to Germany's Florian Mayer.

Argentinian Coria, the French Open finalist, won the first set but then appeared to run out of ideas as 20-year-old Mayer hit back to seal an impressive 4-6 6-3 6-3 6-4 triumph.

His reward is a third-round meeting with South African veteran Wayne Ferreira who overcame Karol Kucera 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 6-1.

Another big name to fall was sixth seed Juan Carlos Ferrero.

He was sent spinning out by American Robby Ginepri who recorded a comprehensive 6-3 6-4 6-1 triumph.

But Andy Roddick had no such problems, the second seed enjoying a 6-3 7-6 6-4 win over Alexander Peya.

The American did not have everything his own way though, and his Austrian opponent gave Roddick food for thought if he is to wrestle the title from Roger Federer.

He will next face compatriot Taylor Dent, who saw off Stefano Pescosolido 6-3 6-3 7-6(7-3).

Briton Mark Hilton bowed out to 25th seed Dominik Hrbaty, a day after his famous victory over former French Open champ Albert Costa.

Hrbaty prevailed 7-5 6-4 6-2 to reach the last 32 for the first time, leaving the Nottingham-based Hilton to console himself with his biggest-ever pay day of £14,760.

Mark Philippoussis scrapped bravely before beating Martin Verkerk in four sets.

Due to the serving prowess of both men, the match was always going to be tight, and so it proved as the pair served up 46 aces between them.

It was Dutchman Verkerk, a 2003 finlist at the French Open, who drew first blood but the 'Scud' hit back to record a 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7/5) 7-5 win.

Carlos Moya produced one of his best-ever displays on grass to see off Dmitry Tursunov.

The Spanish ninth seed, who had not been beyond the second round here until this year, dropped just one game as he raced to the opening set.

The clay specialist from Mallorca looked entirely comfortable against Tursunov, who had previously knocked out Marat Safin.

Moya took the next set 6-4, and while Tursunov was far more competitive in the third, he could not stop the 1998 French Open champion finally running out a 6-1 6-4 7-5 winner.

Sjeng Schalken took four sets to dispose of the dangerous Todd Martin.

The Dutch 12th seed, a quarter-finalist for the past two years here, never had things entirely his own way against the American but always looked comfortable.

French 10th seed Sebastien Grosjean was an easy winner against Jan-Michael Gambill.

Grosjean hit 38 winners in the match, and took the opening set on a tie-break.

It was more comfortable for Grosjean after that, as the American began to find the net all too regularly.

Grosjean, a semi-finalist here last year and a man fancied by many to go well, eventually came through 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 6-2.

In the women's draw defending ladies' champion Serena Williams hardly looked set to relinquish her crown.

A day after her sister Venus' shock defeat, Serena breezed through the opening set of her second-round clash with Stephanie Foretz 6-0 in just 21 minutes on court one.

But she then found herself 3-1 and break point down in the second, only to fight back like a champion to take the set 6-4.

The shock of the day saw French Open champion Anastasia Myskina crash out as she was beaten 4-6 6-4 6-4 by American Amy Frazier on court two.

While the second seed showed glimpses of the passing shots which had taken her to glory in Paris, and battled to save some five match points, in the end a second successive Grand Slam final appearance proved beyond her.

Blonde bombshell Maria Sharapova is beginning to look like a genuine threat in that bottom half of the draw following Myskina and Venus Williams' demise.

The 13th-seeded Russian looked impressive as she brushed aside the challenge of Daniela Hantuchova, winning 6-3 6-1 to reach the last 16.

The teenager - who won in Birmingham during the build-up to Wimbledon - edged a tight first set, but ran away with things in the second to book a meeting with Myskina's conqueror Frazier.

Former champion Lindsay Davenport is another player hoping to take advantage of those shock losses for the seeds.

The 1999 winner thrashed Tatiana Panova, losing just three games in the early-evening sunshine.

The Russian had no asnwers to Davenport's game, and in particular her booming serve.

That delivery held sway throughout and with Davenport getting stuck into the return games, Panova stood little chance as her opponent claimed a 6-2 6-1 win.

Britain's Jane O'Donoghue missed the chance to reach a potential third-round clash with defending champion Williams by losing 6-3 6-3 to Spaniard Magui Serna.

The 21-year-old Briton lost to Serena's sister Venus on her Wimbledon debut two years ago and this time she struggled to make an impact on an opponent ranked 190 places higher in the world.

Ninth seed Paola Suarez blitzed Els Callens of Belgium in straight sets.

Suarez hit 23 winners in the match, and eventually coasted home 6-2 6-2 by converting her first match point.

For the second match in a row Nadia Petrova was taken to three sets before prevailing at SW19.

The Russian, seeded 10 this year, was pushed by the plucky Maria Vento-Kabchi before emerging with the spoils.

Petrova, who has never been beyond round four, won the opening set 6-3 but the unheralded Vento-Kabchi soon hit back to level up.

That took the match to a decider, where the Russian used all her cunning and court nous to eventually secure a 6-3 3-6 6-2 victory.

Fourth seed Amelie Mauresmo continued her march through the draw - and then recognised that her form is lending weight to suggestions this could be her year.

Following her 6-3 6-3 second-round win against Jennifer Hopkins, fourth seed Mauresmo said: "I am feeling pretty good on the surface, I like coming in and I am really enjoying myself.

"It's good for me to know that these kind of players, that have won this tournament and that know how to play on grass, believe I can win."
