Roger Federer (1) v Fernando Gonzalez (21)
Defending champ on a title hat-trick and a 33-match grass court winning streak up against the first Chilean in the quarters here in 20 years. Would be the mother of all upsets
Head-to-head: Federer 4 Gonzalez 0 (None on grass)

Lleyton Hewitt (3) v Feliciano Lopez (26)
Forget the seedings. Hewitt has been injury-prone this season while Lopez is a tricky customer with his big left-handed serve and serve-volley game. Hewitt is a fighter but Lopez may just have the edge
H2H: Hewitt 1 Lopez 0 (Hard court)

Thomas Johansson (12) v David Nalbandian (18)
The veteran versus the party pooper. Johansson has taken his chances this time against players either inferior or unable to exploit the conditions. Nalbandian has bested two prodigies, Nadal and Gasquet. Time for a vet
H2H: First meeting

Sebastien Grosjean (9) v Andy Roddick (2)
Roddick believes his former neighbour and practice partner is one of the five best on grass. The American meanwhile has an 85 percent winning record on grass, the best among active players. This will be close.
H2H: Grosjean 1 Roddick 6 (Three times on grass)
