Roger Federer cruised into yet another Wimbledon quarter-final with one of the most straightforward wins of his career on Monday.

The reigning champion completely blew Adrian Mannarino away, claiming the first set 6-0 in a blistering 16 minutes, dropping just five points in the process.

Mannarino managed a fightback of sorts in the second set, but Federer never looked like he got out of second gear as he cantered into the next round at the All England Club.

The evergreen Swiss looks well on course to defend his title and claim a staggering ninth win on the famous grass courts in West London, with Rafael Nadal seemingly the only man capable of stopping him.

However, should Federer make the final on Sunday, he might not enjoy the kind of undivided love and attention he normally would from the adoring Wimbledon fans.

That is because Sunday’s final is set to clash with another rather important sporting event over in Russia - the FIFA World Cup final.

Fans have already been told they will be allowed to follow the football on smartphones and tablets inside Center court after a glut of fans left the Wimbledon grounds on Saturday to watch England’s clash with Sweden.

Federer though, is hardly concerned about the clash, and in fact had a brilliant response when queried about it.

“Well, it’s going to happen anyway, if I’m going in the final or not, the Wimbledon final will take place, and so will the World Cup final,” Federer said.

“I’m more concerned the World Cup final will have issues because the Wimbledon final is going on.

“They’ll hear every point, Wow, love-15, 15-30.

“The players are going to look up in the crowd and not understand what’s going on at Wimbledon.

“That’s how important Wimbledon is to me and to us over here.

“Maybe you should ask the questions over in Russia, how they’re going to feel about Wimbledon being played at the same time, so…”

Fantastic.

Secretly though, even Roger knows it's coming home.
