Roger Federer, just five weeks shy of his 40th birthday, is in the Wimbledon last 16 for the 18th time
LONDON – Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer headline ‘Manic Monday’ at Wimbledon with the two Grand Slam heavyweights looking to edge closer to a dream title showdown.
World number one Djokovic, chasing a sixth Wimbledon title and record-equalling 20th major, is already halfway to becoming just the third man to complete a calendar Grand Slam.
The Serb faces Cristian Garin of Chile while eight-time champion Federer takes on Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego.
Chilean 17th seed Cristian Garin had never previously won a main draw match at the tournament before this year.
However, the 25-year-old from Santiago is in the last 16 of a major for the second consecutive Grand Slam.
