Federer, Nadal to play at Wimbledon for 1st time since 2008


Djokovic did to Goffin exactly what he does to so many men on so many surfaces and at so many tournaments: He takes their best shot, deals with it and then wears them down.
"I sincerely hope," Djokovic said, "that my opponent feels like he's got to work twice as (hard as) against any other opponent to win a point."
Bautista Agut, a first-time Grand Slam semifinalist, is supposed to be on the island of Ibiza right now, having a bachelor party with a half-dozen pals ahead of his November wedding. Instead, he will play on after beating No. 26 Guido Pella of Argentina 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
"Well," the 31-year-old Bautista Agut said, "it feels better to be here in London."
Federer and Nadal are surely pleased to still be around, too.
Everyone else will be thrilled to see them trade strokes on Centre Court once more.
"I know they haven't played here in a long time. It seems a little more exciting, more special, they are playing at Wimbledon, maybe, rather than outside of a Grand Slam," Querrey said. "I'll be watching on Friday."
