Federer Cruises Past Robredo at Wimbledon

Behind eleven aces and forty winners, Roger Federer cruised past Tommy Robredo in straight sets, 6-1 6-4 6-4, setting up the first all-Swiss meeting at Wimbledon. The Swiss maestro took the opening set in a hurry, needing just 21 minutes to set the tone for the match. Despite Robredo’s upset in their last meeting at the US Open, the 7-time Wimbledon champion proved it to be a fluke with aggressive net play both on his serve and return.

Afterward, Federer reflected on his strong serving at this year’s Championships. “My serve has been working well for some time now,” said Federer, who has reached the last eight without dropping serve in four matches. “I feel I’m really able to focus well and serve well throughout – I have the variation, I have the power.”
