Federer serves up win over Soderling

Roger Federer came out on top of a “serving contest” on Centre Court to book his place in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon today.

Federer fired down 23 aces as he battled past Sweden’s Robin Soderling in a repeat of the recent French Open final, the five-time Wimbledon champion winning 6-4 7-6 (7/5) 7-6 (7/5).
