Federer Breezes Into Roland Garros QF
For a self-described “outsider” at Roland Garros, Roger Federer sure has been playing like one of the favourites in Paris.
The third seed won another straight-sets match on Sunday, beating Argentina's Leonardo Mayer 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 to make his first Grand Slam quarter-final in 11 months (Wimbledon, l. to Anderson) and return to the Roland Garros quarter-finals for the first time since 2015, the last time Federer played at the clay-court Grand Slam.
The Swiss is through to his 12th Roland Garros quarter-final and 54th overall at a Grand Slam, the latter of which extends his record.
At 37 years 305 days old, Federer is also the third oldest quarter-finalist at Roland Garros in the Open Era.
The 2009 titlist will meet Stan Wawrinka or Stefanos Tsitsipas in the last eight. Wawrinka beat Federer in the 2015 quarter-finals.
