WIMBLEDON, England (UPI) -- Top-ranked Roger Federer and world No. 2
Rafael Nadal continued on their apparent head-on course with
quarterfinals wins Wednesday at Wimbledon.
Federer took out Mario Ancic 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 in a rain-spattered match
while Nadal dispatched 12th-seeded Andy Murray 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 and
earned slots in Friday's men's semifinals. Should they win then,
Federer and Nadal, who have played in the last two Wimbledon title
matches, would meet Sunday with another Grand Slam crown at stake.
They are both playing as lofty as their rankings. They have lost just
one set between them during The Championships and on Wednesday neither
faced a break point. Federer allowed Ancic just 10 points on his serve
and Nadal limited Murray to 11 points while he was serving.
Federer's semifinal opponent will be unseeded Marat Safin, who on
Wednesday knocked off his fourth seeded opponent of the tournament
with a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7-1), 6-3 win over No. 31st-seeded Feliciano
Lopez. Among Safin's earlier victims was world No. 3 Novak Djokovic in
the second round.
Federer is 8-2 lifetime against Safin.
Nadal takes on the winner of the Rainer Schuettler-Arnaud Clement
match in the final four. German Schuettler and Frenchman Clement, both
non-seeds, were tied at a set apiece, 6-3, 5-7, when play was
suspended until Thursday. Officials decided the match was not going to
finish Wednesday evening because of darkness.
