Wimbledon: Roger Federer into the quarter-finals on the double

Defending champion Roger Federer has reached the quarter-finals in Wimbledon. The top seeded eight-time champion won against the Frenchman Adrian Mannarino (No. 22) in only 1:45 hours 6:0, 7:5, 6:4.

All in all, the Swiss has only been on the pitch for 6:08 hours at this year’s competition of the turf classic. His next opponents are Kevin Anderson (South Africa/No. 8) and Gael Monfils (France).

In the first three rounds the Swiss had already defeated the Serbs Dusan Lajovic, Lukas Lacko (Slovakia) and Jan-Lennard Struff (Warstein) in three sets each. Federer has now won 32 sets in a row at his favourite Grand Slam in the south of London thanks to his smooth success against left-hander Mannarino. He only managed a longer series between 2005 and 2006 when he won 34 rounds in a row.

As before, the bidder from Basel has not yet had to give up a single premium. Mannarino was at least close, but couldn’t take his chances. Especially since the Frenchman had problems with the adductors from the end of the second set.

Here is the men’s single tableau in Wimbledon
