With the last-eight field all set for the men, here’s the story of the quarter-finalists by numbers.

0
The number of sets dropped by Roberto Bautista Agut en route to the quarter-finals in the men’s draw this Fortnight - the only player to achieve this.

1 – Guido Pella is into his first Grand Slam quarter-final, on his 20th appearance in the main draw at a major.

It's a very nice feeling, because seriously, I never thought that I was going to do a quarter-final in a Grand Slam. So it is a great feeling for me. It's a great feeling that I feel support from the crowd and that that feeling is massive. So I will try to keep doing my best. I have a very tough match in the next round, but I will keep fighting, keep playing, and if I can have some chances, maybe I will take it
Guido Pella

1 – David Goffin is the first Belgian man to reach the quarter-finals at three different Grand Slams, having also made that stage at Roland-Garros 2016 and Australian Open 2017. This is his first Wimbledon quarter-final appearance.

I'd say amazing feeling, especially here. I knew that it's my favourite tournament, and I knew that I had the game to play well on grass. To reach the quarter-finals for the first time, it means a lot, and especially from a few months I had with tough moments on the court, tough moments off the court. And now, to be back with my best tennis, especially here, it's the perfect place and the perfect moment

Left-handers have made it to the quarter-finals, Rafael Nadal and Pella.

2 – Kei Nishikori is into his second Wimbledon quarter-final. He is just the second Japanese player to make multiple quarter-finals at the Championships, behind Kimiko Date, who reached the last eight in 1995 and 1996.

2
Bautista Agut’s second Grand Slam quarter-final appearance of the year (also made it in Melbourne) and the second of his career.

3 – Sam Querrey has made the quarter-finals (or better) at Wimbledon for the third time in the last four years.

It feels great. I love playing here and I'm getting more comfortable every year. I like playing on the grass. It's becoming more of a thing when I get here I don't care so much who I'm playing because I have just the confidence that I can make a run regardless of who's in front of me

Querrey is the only unseeded player in the quarter-final line-up. It’s the first time in four years (since Vasek Pospisil in 2015) that an unseeded man has made it to the last eight at The Championships.

4 – Pella is the fourth Argentinean man in history to make it to the Wimbledon quarter-finals, behind Guillermo Vilas, David Nalbandian and Juan Martin del Potro.

7 – Nadal has faced a total of just seven break points through four matches this tournament. This is the least number of break points faced among the quarter-finalists (Federer faced eight). Nadal saved four of them.

Nishikori has won his last eight five-set matches. He hasn’t lost one since falling to Roger Federer in five sets in the Australian Open fourth round in 2017.

37 – Djokovic has the highest success rate among the quarter-finalists in return points won against the first serve, claiming 37 per cent of such points. He also leads the last-eight field by winning 37 per cent of his return games.

37 – At 37 years and 340 days, Federer is the oldest man to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final since a 39-year-old Jimmy Connors made that stage at the 1991 US Open.

48
Serve-and-volley points played by Querrey, more than any of his fellow quarter-finalists. The American won 39 of those points, with an impressive 81 per cent success rate using that strategy.

My serve feels really good. I'm kind of locked in on it. I have got a good rhythm. This is a tournament that rewards good servers. Everything feels right on my serve
Sam Querrey
