Tomas Berdych
Berdych hit 12 aces on his way to victory

Number 20 seed Tomas Berdych produced a a powerful performance to crush Russia's Nikolay Davydenko 6-2 6-3 6-2 and make Wimbledon's fourth round.

Davydenko had won all of the pair's previous eight meetings, but struggled with the variety of the Czech's serve and power of his ground strokes.

After failing to capitalise as Berdych briefly wobbled late in the third, the 12th seed seemed resigned to defeat.

Either Jurgen Melzer or Andy Roddick now await for the 23-year-old.
