LONDON - Roger Federer kept tennis statisticians on their toes on Saturday as he mopped up a few more records by trampling all over Lucas Pouille’s dreams in a rip-roaring 7-5 6-2 7-6 win to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon.
But the Swiss is unlikely to be popping champagne corks to celebrate either milestone as he has his eyes firmly set on a much, much bigger prizes - a record ninth Challenge Cup and a 21st Grand Slam title. To get closer to that, however, he will first have to negotiate his way past Italian 17th seed Matteo Berrettini.
Australian Open semi-finalist Pouille was cheered on by his coach Amelie Mauresmo as he played his part in an entertaining match that was more keenly contested than the score suggests but he bowed out after netting a backhand on Federer’s third match point.
