Roger Federer vs. Mikhail Youzhny will be a must-see match for tennis fans as the men’s draw begins play at the start of the week for Wimbledon. The men’s seed has gone as planned so far, but this could be the spot where we see an upset.
Roger Federer, the world number three, defeated David Nalbandian in Wimbledon's fourth round on Saturday and with the victory Federer is back into the second week of the grass court Grand Slam. The Swiss Maestro, having won the tournament six times in the past, is clearly on form as he has not yet lost a set at the All England Club in 2011.
Federer will next face Mikhail Youzhny, a player who has made the fourth round of Wimbledon on several occasions. However Youzhny has never put together a strong enough match in the fourth round to make the quarterfinals at the All England Club.
Youzhny is 0-5 in fourth round matches at Wimbledon and he's also 0-10 against Federer heads up. The Russian has lost to Federer three times on grass although never at Wimbledon as they met three times at the Halle tournament.
The two players have not met at all since 2007, a fact that is a little surprising given that they both win their fair share of matches on all surfaces.
But even without recent matches against one another, all the trends imply a Federer victory on Monday in what will be the third match to be played on Court No. 1 (stadium start 13:00).
