World No. 3 Roger Federer moved into the fourth round of Wimbledon Saturday with a 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 victory against No. 28 seed David Nalbandian. "I thought today was a particularly good performance by my side, on my serve again," assessed Federer. "I think I played a great match."

The six-time winner of The Championships won 41 per cent of his return points, breaking the Argentine five times to take the match in one hour and 46 minutes. He is yet to drop a set in the tournament. "I'm using basically everything in my arsenal, the slice, the drive and so forth," said Federer. "I've been playing really well. I've gotten through the matches comfortably and that's very nice."

Federer increases his head-to-head lead over Nalbandian to a 12-8 record and improves to 3-2 in Grand Slam clashes, having now played each other at all four majors. Nalbandian was appearing at the All England Club for the first time since 2008.

The Swiss is looking to reach his 29th straight major quarter-final and can keep the streak alive with a win over 18th-seeded Mikhail Youzhny, who came from a set down to defeat No. 16 seed Nicolas Almagro 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(3), 6-3 in two hours and 43 minutes. Federer has never lost to the Russian, holding a commanding 10-0 lead.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the 12th seed, overpowered Fernando Gonzalez 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 to advance to the second week of Wimbledon for the third time. The Frenchman cracked 48 winners, 27 more than Gonzalez and hit 29 aces to knock out the Chilean in one hour and 19 minutes.

Tsonga next faces No. 7 seed David Ferrer, who defeated qualifier Karol Beck 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. The win puts Ferrer into the round of 16 for the second straight year and he’ll look to progress to his first Wimbledon quarter-final when he takes on Tsonga.
