Roger Federer didn’t have an easy time on Saturday when he defeated Mischa Zverev without being at his 100%.

The Swiss sensation got a cold on Thursday, and he is on his way to recover. In the meantime, Roger beat Mischa in straight sets in the Wimbledon 3rd round. After grabbing a good 4-1 lead in the opener, Roger dropped a service game in the 7th  game (4-3) before winning the set at the following breaker. The Swiss was almost perfect on his service games during the rest of the match to win most of them at love or 15. Therefore, the Maestro had to “just” break Zverev once per set to earn the encounter 7-6 (3) 6-4 6-4.

I hope I will be at my 100% on Monday. FEDERER

Roger conceded that he is still recovering from his cold to comment

“I’m definitely feeling better. I feel 50% better than I did on Thursday and I’m happy things are progressing well I hope that on Monday I’m back to 100%.”

.. I have good feeling

Even if Roger has been struggling with this cold, he admits he has good feeling from the first week to comment

“It’s important to get through the first week with a good feeling, and I think I got that. The first match with the walkover saved me a lot of energy, crucial energy. We go one round at a time.

The first goal is to get through to the second week, and I am happy to sit back and relax and then come back on Monday.”

Next vs. Dimitrov

Roger will face an in-form Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round on Monday.  The head to head is 5-0 for Roger.
