Federer eased into his 12th Wimbledon quarter-final with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 win over Tommy Robredo, a victory headlined by a perfect second set.
Australian Open champion Wawrinka, the fifth seed, made his first last-eight date at the All England Club at the 10th attempt by seeing off Spain&rsquo;s Feliciano Lopez 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (9/7), 6-3. Federer will start as overwhelming favourite having a 13-2 record over his 2008 Olympic Games gold medal partner.&nbsp;But Wawrinka won their last encounter on clay at the Monte Carlo Masters final in April and the two have never met on grass.
