John Lloyd hails "absolutely brilliant" Roger Federer

Former British number one John Lloyd heaps praise on Roger Federer following his quarter-final win over Gilles Simon at Wimbledon.

Former British number one John Lloyd has claimed that Roger Federer was "absolutely brilliant" during his quarter-final win over Gilles Simon at Wimbledon.

The Swiss eased into the last four at SW19 on Wednesday with a resounding three-set victory over Simon.

Federer will now take on Andy Murray for a place in Sunday's final.

"Absolutely brilliant," Lloyd told BBC Sport. "I thought this would be a tough match but this was a stroll for him. He served so well, moved well, aggressive at the right times. Simon tried to counter punch but he was just bouncing off Federer. He was totally in command."

Federer has won the Wimbledon title seven times during his career.
