Roger Federer eased past Lorenzo Sonego 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 to make it to the Wimbledon last eight for the 18th time in his career. But that's not where his list of accomplishments end. On Monday, the Swiss legend became the oldest man in the Open Era to reach the quarter-finals at the All England Club. At 39 years and 337 days, Federer broke the record set by Ken Rosewall (39 years, 224 days) back in 1974. It was also the 58th time the eight-time Wimbledon champion has made it to the quarter-finals of any Grand Slam.

After beating Sonego in straight sets, Federer said, "I felt after the first set I was able to control things. I couldn't be more excited to be in the quarters."

Federer will either lock horns with Daniil Medvedev or Hubert Hurkacz to contest for a semi-finals spot. "I'm happy to have played in the era that there was a 'Middle Sunday' but it now means more people can come to the tournament. It was very special and I really enjoyed it," Federer added.

Among other tennis stars, Jimmy Connors has 14 Wimbledon quarter-final appearances, Arthur Gore has 12, Djokovic 12 and Boris Becker 11.
