  Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Sam Querrey all advanced into the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

   Nadal has been slowed down by pain in his knee, and had to overcome being down in the early rounds in order to advance.

Federer is Wimdledon's defending champion, while Nadal overtook the Swiss to become ranked the world's number one tennis player.

Federer is aiming for a seventh Wimbledon title and defeated Austrian Jurgen Melzer.

Said Federer to AP:

I felt great. It was always going to be a tough match against Jurgen.

I think my form's good now and that's what I really care about.

Nadal on the other hand won Wimbledon in 2008.

Britain's Andy Murray faces 22-year old American Sam Querrey.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic faces Lleyton Hewitt, who won Wimbledon in 2002.

Andy Roddick will face unseeded Lu Yen-Hsun.

Sweden's Robin Soderling takes on David Ferre.
