Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer continued his impressive progress as he swept aside France's Gilles Simon to reach the semi-finals.

Federer was broken for the first time in 68 service games at SW19 this year near the end of the second set.

But that was virtually the only blip by the 33-year-old as he won 6-3 7-5 6-2 in one hour and 34 minutes.
