    Only once before, in 2007, have Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal made it to the Wimbledon semi-finals at the same time.

    And the Spaniard looks keen to make it happen again as he attacks Querrey's second serve to bring up break point.

    More from Roger Federer, on a potential semi-final match against Rafael Nadal: "We have a lot of information on Rafa, as does he on us. So you can dive in to the tactics like mad for two days or you say it's grass court tennis so I'm going to come out and play my tennis.

    "People always hype it up. It was a joy to play against Rafa on his court at the French Open and it would be if I have to play him here at Wimbledon. I'd be very excited to play him here."

    Roger Federer speaking on BBC Two: "It was very difficult. It was a brutal beginning, Kei came out smashing winners, I just tried to stay with him and tried to turn it around in the first set. But Kei was the better player. I was able to start a normal match at one set all and then I protected my serve really well until the end. I played a good service game against a good return player."

    On reaching 100 singles wins at Wimbledon: "It's not like I think I have to get my 100 - I just try to win the next point and then hopefully at the end of the match you have your hands in the air. It was only after the match a fan said congratulations on your 100 and I was like 'oh yeah, it's my 100'. It's so nice, and getting it against Kei is very nice."

    Nadal puts his head in his hands as he cuts a backhand wide. 30-15.

    Querrey probably doesn't have much chance, but if he's to have any he really needs a hold here.

    The American hits the ball long and it's 30-30.

    Nadal is quickly at 40-0, but falters as he hits a backhand into the net.

    He can't be held off for long, though, and smacks a speedy forehand down the line. Another hold.

    More from Fed in a moment...

    Uh oh. You know it's bad when there's a double fist pump.

    Querrey puts up what should have been a winning drop shot but Nadal sprints forwards and angles a perfect forehand winner.

    And that was Roger Federer's 100th match win in the singles at Wimbledon.

    Raise that racquet to the crowd...

    Roger Federer whips off his sweat bands and tosses them into the crowd - a slightly smelly souvenir for a spectator or three.

    The Swiss great stops on his way off Centre Court to sign some novelty tennis balls, programmes, pieces of scrap paper. You name it...

    Querrey 5-7 2-6 0-0 Nadal

    Nadal actually managed to serve more aces than Querrey in that set - unheard of. He served four to the American's three.

    Roger Federer has felt this feeling so many times before.

    But, still, it means so much to him.
