Wimbledon | Federer likes himself and is closer to repeating the final at Wimbledon

At 39 years and 337 days, Roger Federer reissued this Monday a success that he has achieved, with this, on 18 occasions: reaching the quarterfinals of his favorite tournament, Wimbledon. He is the oldest to do so in the Open Era, ahead of Australian Ken Rosewall, who was 39 and 224 when he did it in 1974. The Swiss, from less to more, liked to beat Lorenzo Sonego 7-5, 6-4 and 6-2 in 2:11, an enthusiastic and improved 26-year-old Italian and 27th in the world to which he bent little by little until leaving him almost nothing in the central of the British Grand Slam. Federer expects rival: Daniil Medvedev or Hubert Hurkacz, who could not finish their match on court 2 because of the rain. The Russian won 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-3 and 3-4. It will resume this Tuesday from 2:30 p.m. (#Come on)

The Helvetian completed a convincing performance against dangerous opponents, who had not lost a set in their previous three matches and were in very good shape (played in the Eastbourne final a few days ago). He disarmed him with continuous interns on his climbs and with that ease that he has to serve well when he needs it and thus start the points with an advantage and tranquility. His errors were not triggered far from it (26) and he dispatched 32 winners (only four from direct service). And he allowed only three break options for his opponent, a good aggressive tennis player who may have gone too brave.

The central vibrated with the idol that he has venerated so many times, for whom they crowd to see him, as if it were a religious act, when he crosses the catwalk from the court to the players' area, and that he is a couple of victories away from repeating the final and, why not, in conditions of fight at least to lift his ninth title in London, 21st Grand Slam. The best news for him is that the physicist responds to him, enough to move in a terrain that he knows and in which he moves like nobody else has.
