Seven-time Wimbledon champion Federer will face Canada’s Milos Raonic, the sixth seed for a place in the semi-finals. Raonic, the 2016 runner-up, reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Monday with a 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 win over Germany’s Zverev.
Raonic defeated Federer in the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2016.
Federer, 35, is also the second oldest man to make the quarter-finals at Wimbledon behind Ken Rosewall who was 39 when he reached the last-eight in 1971.
“I’m thrilled to be back in the quarters again,” said Federer who took his record over Dimitrov to 6-0. “It’s very special to be in a 15th quarter-final here.”
