Awesome Federer cruises through

ROGER FEDERER eased into the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a 6-3 6-4 7-6 victory over Spain’s Juan Carlos Ferrero.

It was the 33rd consecutive grass-court triumph for Federer and on this form it appears inevitable that the world number one is nearing a hat-trick of men’s singles titles.

The champion had lost just one set this tournament and apart from the third set tie-breaker the Spaniard rarely looked like troubling him, even though he tried desperately throughout to upset the rhythm of his opponent with some heavy baseline hitting.
