LONDON: Roger Federer's path to a record 15th grand slam title will look replica watches reassuringly familiar

provided he can tame the Rainmaker in Wednesday's quarterfinals.

Ivo Karlovic, 2.08m tall and the son of a meteorologist, has been raining down aces throughout this tournament, 137 of them in four matches.
Still, the 30-year-old Croat will hold few fears for second seed Federer, who has won eight of their nine matches to date, including two this season and one

at Wimbledon back in 2004.

It will be a huge surprise if Federer is not facing Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals as the Tag Heuer Watches

22-year-old Serb faces 31-year-old German Tommy Haas in a clash of two generations.

In the other half of the draw, Andy Murray will expect to deal wildcard Juan Carlos Ferrero out of the hand, while the patched-up Lleyton Hewitt will throw everything his body

has left at his old rival Andy Roddick.

There is nothing there to worry Federer unduly on grass, not even the Murraymania inspired by the A Lange &

Sohne Watches home hope's five-set win under the roof on Monday.

Federer, who won five Wimbledons in a row before losing to Rafa Nadal in that epic final last year, is a class apart on this surface.

His record against Murray is not good - the Scot leads 6-2 on head-to-head - and Piguet Watches Djokovic

has also beaten him twice this year but Federer will be soothed by the memory of beating both of them on his way to the U.S. Open title in 2008.

Federer, 27, had the perfect preparation for Karlovic - in the quarter-finals of the grand slam for the first time - with a match against Robin Soderling on Monday.

"It did turn into a bit of a serving contest against Soderling," said Federer, who has Bregue Watches dropped just

one set so far. "Not many rallies, so maybe not as much fun for the people."
