Federer

Wimbledon's fourth matchday ended in the early hours of this morning, and eight-time champion Federer spent 1 hour and 51 minutes to defeat French player Gasquet in three straight sets 7-6 (1), 6-1, 6-4 to advance to the third round of men's singles.

"I know Richard (Gasquette) very well." Federer said in a post-match interview, "We've met many times and it's always been a good experience to be able to play against him, he has the best backhand ... It was a good game for me and I'm very happy with how I did today. It was tough to win in the first set, I played well in the second set, and I was very good in the third set, and of course I was very, very happy. ”

"It's not the most important thing to be at your best in the first or second round, you just have to do it and don't lose the first two rounds, and if you're out, then you have to question yourself, that's not what I should be doing now. I've advanced to the third round and I'm happy with where I'm at at the moment and today is a special day, so I'm happy about it. ”

Obviously, the 39-year-old Federer is still slowly looking for the form of the game on the grass, and he will be tested in the third round, and the Swiss king will compete with the local favorite, the 29th seed Nori, for the round of 16, which will also be the first official meeting between the two.

'I hope the audience will be able to enjoy this game, no matter which player they are supporting. Looking ahead to the showdown, Federer said, "I can fully understand if the audience supports him, but if there is an audience supporting me, it must be because I have played a lot of big games here in the last 20 years." Cameron (Norrie) is also a good guy, he's had a good year,he's done well in the Queen's Cup and he's continued to be in good shape here. I know it's going to be a tough game and I'm glad he's got here step by step, but I'll do my best to beat him. ”
