Roger Federer was today handed a bye to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon when fourth-round opponent Tommy Haas was forced to pull out through injury.
Haas, the 13th seed, suffered a stomach injury in a previous match at the All England Club.
Federer will play the winner of the match between Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero and Serb Janko Tipsarevic in the last eight as he bids for a fifth straight Wimbledon title, equalling the modern-day record of Bjorn Borg.
