5 things to look for at Wimbledon

London: Roger Federer's nearly perfect serving carried him back to the Wimbledon quarterfinals.   He'll try to continue his bid for a record eighth championship at the All England Club by beating his friend and countryman


PAST CHAMPS: Federer isn't the only previous Wimbledon winner still around. Last year's champion, Andy Murray, and the 2011 champion, Novak Djokovic, face far-less-accomplished opponents Wednesday. Murray takes on 11th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, who will be playing in his second career Grand Slam quarterfinal. Djokovic faces No. 26 Marin Cilic, who is in the Wimbledon quarters for the first time, although he did get to the semifinals of the Australian Open in 2010.

   
BRASH TEEN: Like any 19-year-old might do, Nick Kyrgios brought a video-game system on his trip to England. Here's the difference: The 144th-ranked Kyrgios beat No. 1 Rafael Nadal on Tuesday to become the first man in 10 years to reach the quarterfinals in his Wimbledon debut. "Never did I think a week ago I was going to make the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in my first appearance," Kyrgios said at his news conference, before addressing reporters directly: "I'm sure some of you have 19-year-old kids. I'm exactly the same." Kyrgios plays No. 8 Milos Raonic, the first Canadian man in Wimbledon's final eight in 102 years.
