Nadal and Federer into last 16

The tantalising prospect of a fourth Wimbledon final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer moved a step closer on Saturday as the two rivals cruised into the last 16. World number one Nadal wrapped up a straight sets win over Luxembourg's Gilles Muller in a match that had been halted on Friday because of rain, winning 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (7/5), 6-0.

The reigning champion, who will face Juan Martin Del Potro in the last 16, was in imperious form against Muller, totting up only three unforced errors as he breezed into the fourth round.
