Federer reaches semis at rain-soaked Wimbledon

After eight days of nearly uninterrupted tennis, rain disrupted the men's quarterfinals at Wimbledon on Wednesday and slowed five-time champion Roger Federer's bid to extend his grass-court winning streak to 64 matches. After the start of play was held up by nearly an hour, Federer raced to a 6-1, 1-1 lead over Mario Ancic before the rain came again and the covers were rolled back onto Centre Court. On Court 1, Feliciano Lopez was leading Marat Safin 5-2 when play was suspended. [link]
