AT A GLANCE
TODAY: A Wimbledon-record five men older than 30 will play in the quarterfinals, led by 35-year-old Roger Federer, who is bidding for a record eighth title at the All England Club. Federer’s opponent is Milos Raonic — the third time in four years they’ll face each other at the tournament. “Roger’s been the best player, I think, this year, hands down, when he’s been on court,” said the sixthseeded Raonic, a Canadian who was the 2016 runner-up to Andy Murray at Wimbledon. “But it’s not about six months or whatnot. It comes down to Wednesday, one day, so I’ve just got to try to find a way to try to be better on that day.” The Federer-Raonic winner will take on either three-time champion Novak Djokovic, 30, or 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych, 31, in the semifinals. On the other half of the draw, two-time champion Murray, 30, plays 24th-seeded American Sam Querrey, who has never been to a major semifinal. The other quarterfinal is 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic against 16th-seeded Gilles Muller, 34, who stunned Rafael Nadal 15-13 in the fifth set of a fourth-round marathon that lasted more than 4½ hours. TODAY’S FORECAST: Cloudy with a slight chance of rain. High of 75 degrees.
