Fed Express still on course

ROGER FEDERER remained on course to claim a fourth consecutive Wimbledon title after cruising into the semi-finals with a straight-sets victory over Mario Ancic on Centre Court.

The world number one and top seed was again in superb form during a match which was interrupted by showers at the All England Club. Ancic, seeded seventh, put up a spirited challenge, but simply had no answer to the range of strokes produced by the Swiss ace, who completed a highly-impressive 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory in a total of one hour and 45 minutes on court.

As well as the delays for rain, Federer also had to contend with a brief stoppage caused by two fathers’ rights campaigners. .
