Australian Open - Men's Fourth Round
2 Roger Federer d Tommy Robredo - 63 36 63 62
With the win Roger ties Jimmy Connors with 27 consecutive Slam Qf's.
Remarkable: In all, he moves into his 31st Slam Qf: 26-4.
Rog had a bit of a hiccup in the 2nd set - other than that he was top flight.
He improves his Aussie Open W/L to 58-7.
Rog is the only active player with more than 55 wins in at least 3 Slams.
He will play the winner of Roddick/Wawrinka - to be played later tonight.
Federer fans might prefer Andy to win that one.
As for Tommy, after a 1st round loss last year he'll get a good ranking bump.
But it was a bad day for Spaniards as Robredo, Verdasco & Amalgro all lost.
