— Wimbledon July 9, 2019 But if you think Federer and Nadal are guaranteed to meet again Friday, consider this: Kei Nishikori and Sam Querrey, who face the Swiss and Spaniard, respectively, won the last duels in those matchups. Japan's Nishikori triumphed over Federer in the same city, too, at last year's ATP Finals in London, while American Querrey -- who bettered Nadal in Acapulco in 2017 -- leads this year's Wimbledon serving stats with a mammoth 100 aces.
Tearful Roger Federer remembers late coach 03:21That's a contrast to the Australian and French Opens. In Melbourne Nishikori contested three five-setters, then unluckily drew tournament king Djokovic. He retired in the second set, citing a thigh injury brought on by his marathon encounters. And at Roland Garros, coming off two five-setters, he had to tangle with "King of Clay" Nadal and was no match for the record 12-time tournament champion.
Japanese fans rally behind tennis player 04:00'Can we predict the future?'Nadal similarly owns a commanding 4-1 record against Querrey but the American has become quite the giant killer at Wimbledon having knocked off Djokovic and Andy Murray when they were the reigning champions. "When he plays well, he can be very, very dangerous in all surfaces," said Nadal, who bagged the last of his two Wimbledon titles in 2010.
