Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer continue to move around unimpressed at Wimbledon: After the Serb entered the round of the last eight with a clear win over Cristian Garin in the early afternoon, the "Maestro" finished with a 7: 5, 6 : 4 and 6: 2 success over Lorenzo Sonego.
Federer only had small problems in the first set, when he was broken at the score of 5: 4 and had to fend off chances of further game wins by the Italian in the two subsequent games. Ultimately, these two games and thus the first set went to the Swiss.

After the 7: 5 in the first act, Federer also knew how to playfully convince in the second and third sections. After a little more than two hours of play, the 39-year-old turned his first match point and made it into the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the 18th time.

On Wednesday Federer will meet Daniil Medvedev or Hubert Hurkacz, who will not finish their round of 16 encounter until Tuesday due to the rain. The Russian world number two led when canceled with 6: 2, 6: 7 (2), 6: 3 and 3: 4. There hasn't been a break in the fourth movement yet.
