It was another great day for five-time champion, Roger Federer, as he won his fourth-round match at Wimbledon. You almost have to feel sorry for Robin Soderling who lost for the third time this month to the Swiss superstar.

Federer, who is now 69-1 in his last 70 matches on grass, defeated Soderling 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-5) at the All England Club. “Today was hard to get through a really dangerous match,” Federer said. “Not many rallies, so maybe not as much fun for the people. But I stayed calm, waited for my chance.” Federer will face Croatia’s Ivo Karlovic in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Should be an interesting match since Karlovic has a massive serve and is 6’10” – I’d be terrified!
Andy Murray and Andy Roddick also advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Stanislas Wawrinka and Tomas Berdych respectively.
