“Then it was just important to keep it up with my serving”.
“It’s only quarter-finals, I know it’s a good result so far and I’m playing great tennis but hopefully I can keep it up tomorrow”.
Djokovic also moved on to the quarterfinal after defeating 13th-seed David Goffin 6-4 2-6 6-3 and set up clash with Stan Wawrinka, who beat him earlier this year at the Roland Garros.
Anderson lost to world number two Roger Federer in straight sets. “Luckily for me, I managed to bounce back, dig myself out of this hole I was in”. The 17-time Swiss grand slam champion is playing his first tournament since losing to Djokovic for second consecutive time in the finals at the All England Club.
Federer would lose just seven points on serve in the match, and Anderson was unable to delay the inevitable as the second seed secured his third break of the second set by converting match point at the fourth attempt to progress.
“It’s going to be the first time we’ve met (since) the French Open final“, Djokovic said about his upcoming clash with Wawrinka.
“He (Lopez) played the best match ever against me, without a doubt”, Nadal said in a report by ATPWorldTour.com.
Third seed Andy Murray survived a scare against Grigor Dimitrov to book his place in the last eight.
Sixth seed Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic breezed by unseeded Tommy Robredo of Spain 6-0 6-1.
With Nadal leading 5-3 in the opening set, Lopez fought back to get the match all even only to see Nadal break again in the 12th game to eventually take the first set.
