Roger Federer shrugs off injury to reach Wimbledon quarterfinals

Six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer shrugged off a rare medical time-out to defeat Xavier Malisse 7-6 (7/1), 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 on Monday to reach a 33rd successive Grand Slam quarterfinal.



The Swiss great, who goes on to face either Russian 26th seed Mikhail Youzhny or Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan for a place in the semifinals, had to come from two sets to love down to see off France's Julien Benneteau in the last round.
