British hero Eaton can build on heroic first-round win, says his coach

Eaton produced the shock of the championships so far last night by beating Boris Pashanski, who is 547 places above him in the world rankings.  

Hundreds of spectators packed Court 3 in the gathering dusk to watch the 20-year-old defeat his Serbian opponent in straight sets.

All smiles: Eaton takes a break from practice after his first-round win to fly the flag for Britain

Eaton's coach Justin Sherring roared him on from the stands along with his parents Mike and Sue and girlfriend Emma Cowles, and said his player's blistering serve would make him a tough match for any opponent.  

'This guy is the real deal - that's how you serve,' he said.  'If he serves like that, it's going to take a really special returner to keep with him.'  

Eaton hit 26 aces on the way to victory - more than top seeds Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick and Novak Djokovic managed in their first-round matches.

Pashanski, ranked 114 in the world, managed to return less than half of Eaton's serves, which were clocked at 128mph.  

Sherring said he had total confidence in his man. 

'I never had any doubt he would win, the way he was hitting the ball in practice. No doubt,' he said.

'He was hitting the ball so hard.'  

Eaton goes on to play Russian 25th seed Dimitry Tursunov in the second round.
