WIMBLEDON, England (UPI) -- Roger Federer, striving for his sixth
consecutive Wimbledon championship, takes on Mario Ancic in
quarterfinals Wednesday of The Championships.
Federer, the world's top-rated player, owns a 63-match grass-court
winning streak that dates to his first-round 2002 Wimbledon meeting
with Ancic. Federer is 5-1 lifetime against Ancic.
Rafael Nadal, ranked second, is also headed for Wednesday's quarters
and a match against 12th-seeded Andy Murray, who, as a Scotsman, will
have the partisan British crowd behind him. Nadal is 3-0 in his career
matches with Murray.
No. 31-seeded Feliciano Lopez is paired against Marat Safin in the
other quarterfinal of Federer's half of the draw. Safin owns two Grand
Slam titles but has never made it beyond the quarters at Wimbledon.
Lopez has the historic advantage, winning four times in his five
meetings with Safin.
The fourth quarterfinal sends Rainer Schuettler against Arnaud
Clement. Both have been in Grand Slam finals before but it's been
awhile. That highlight for both came in Australia with Clement playing
for the title in 2001 and Schuettler in 2003 and both losing to Andre
Agassi. Schuettler is 4-1 against Clement.
The Wimbledon men's singles semifinals are set for Friday with the
title match on Sunday.
