LONDON - The deafening cheers erupting around Wimbledon as Rafa Nadal stood at the baseline, bouncing a ball and poised to take a two-set lead against Sam Querrey, provided the newsflash he welcomed and dreaded with equal measure — Roger Federer was through to the semi-finals.
And there was no stopping Nadal on Wednesday as he soaked up 22 thunderbolt aces to flatten Querrey 7-5 6-2 6-2 and reach his 32nd Grand Slam semi-final and seventh at Wimbledon. But since that was no longer an option, the Spaniard admitted that he was excited to see how the latest installment in their shared history would pan out.
A warning for a time violation threw third seed Nadal, who had already squandered four set points, off his service stride in the 10th game and allowed Querrey to break back for 5-5. But when it came to facing a man who owns 18 Grand Slam titles, Querrey knew that such stats were meaningless.
