Serene Federer in Seventh Heaven at Wimbledon
LONDON — It was a case of 7-7-7 for Roger Federer at Wimbledon on Monday as he fired down seven aces, won seven games on the trot and sat through a seven-minute injury timeout in an otherwise serene 6-2 6-2 6-3 win over Roberto Bautista Agut.
The Spaniard became the latest man to fall under Federer's serving spell as the suave Swiss flung out winners here, there and everywhere to glide into his 45th grand slam quarter-final.
Such was his mastery that four days after producing an audacious "hot-dog" lob winner over Sam Querrey, he was at it again. Only this time Federer's attempt at an outrageous 'behind-the-back-volley' did not quite go to plan.
