London . "If you do not have a very good service, you can not feel safe here," Rafael Nadal said in one word. The fast grbad at Wimbledon has always favored the big hitters and especially those who have mastered the first important stroke after the service.
Roger Federer, for example, can always feel very safe. The Swiss has now won 81 consecutive matches in the All England Club, recently defeated in semifinals the previous year by Tomas Berdych. The "Manic Monday" of yesterday, where after the traditional Sunday without play of the last 16 finals was planned, Federer had for the first time pushed back the defense on his mission defense breakballs. The feat of winning the first chance against the number one this year at Wimbledon was achieved by Adrian Mannarino – in the first set on the score of 0: 5 from the point of view of the Frenchman.
The breakball was pushed back, there should be three more in the third sentence follows, they also remained unused. Then Federer won the ruler 6: 0, 7: 5, 6: 4, placed in direct duel with the 24th world rank on 6: 0 and 15: 1 sentences. In his best four games of five games at Wimbledon, he has not made a set, and holds Federer 32 times in a row. Until the quarter-finals, his 52nd to major, the 36-year-old has only spent six hours and eight minutes on the pitch. The next hurdle on the way to the ninth Wimbledon title is Kevin Anderson or Gael Monfils.
