WIMBLEDON, UK-Uncle Toni give credit for honesty.

Toni Nadal, uncle and trainer, watching Wimbledon put the defending champion Rafael Nadal in about an hour of practice to a left foot not so badly injured, is as first feared, then this assessment on a handful of reporters Tuesday offered:

"Even if it was 50 percent, I would say that he is 100 percent." But he is 100 percent. "Everything is fine."

The top-seeded Nadal plays: 10-seeded Mardy fish of the United States in the quarterfinals Wednesday at the all England Club.

Other quarterfinals are no. 2 Novak Ðokovic against 18-year-old Bernard Tomic of Australia, no. 3 Roger Federer against No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France and no. 4 Andy Murray against New Zealand Feliciano Lopez from Spain.

If all Favorites win, it would be the first time that all semifinal at Wimbledon since 1995 the top four seeded men than Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic did.

Nadal, Djokovic, Federer and Murray filled the last four at the French open this month. 1-4 in the semi-finals during the open era began in 1968 has never been consecutive grand slam tournaments with Nr.

"I remember not dominate, as these guys have four guys." The separation of them to lines [:] 5-20 is a gap, "Sampras said by telephone from California on Tuesday." "These four guys just better mover than all the others be;" "They're better athletes."

Recent results suggest that quarter-final should be to present men leading not too many problems for the sport.

First of all consider the head to head records: Nadal is 5-0 against fish; Federer is 4-1 vs. Tsonga; 4-0 Against Lopez is; Djokovic and Tomic have never played.

Now take a look at their own merits.

Nadal 10 Grand Slam titles include two at Wimbledon, where he is 30-2, since the start of the tournament in 2006, is complete with two runner up.

Federer has six Wimbledon Championships--a short the record Sampras and Willie Renshaw, its in the 1880s years-won and record a total of 16 Grand Slam titles.

Djokovic twice won the Australian Open and is a two-time Wimbledon semifinalist. Murray has been three great finale reached and two Wimbledon semi-final.

The other four Quarterfinalists have a grand total of a Grand-Slam-runner-up-finish: Tsonga Australian Open 2008. fish (0-2 in big quarter-finals), Lopez (0-2), and Tomic (his debut major quarter-finals) still have been no Grand Slam semi-final.

"This is tournament for me of course a giant." My game is probably better than other tournament for me, Grand Slam-wise, "said fish, who eliminated Wimbledon runner 2010-up TOMAS BERDYCH in the fourth round and lost serve only once all tournament." "I felt, as perhaps is one of the them there that I wanted to do really well." Feels great in the quarter-finals. "I need others hard man safely."

Nothing comes easily against Nadal, even if fully fit he is not.

While US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro significant pain in the left foot in the first set and at first felt his fourth-round victory over 2009 on Monday, Nadal to worry it could be broken; the French open and Wimbledon in 2004 Miss if he that foot had to be divided.

Nadal went on beat del Potro square, then later in that night for an MRI in a London hospital. The results showed swelling to a longing, but something bigger, according to Ignacio Muñoz, a doctor with Spanish Tennis Federation.

"For tomorrow," said Toni Nadal, "there is no problem."

Sampras expects all the time, that Federer finally a seventh Wimbledon title would be.

On Tuesday he said Sampras figures, the Nadal his career a total of 14 Grand Slam Championships and may reach the Federer 16, could exceed.

"If you break his game and what he was able to do on all surfaces, it is only [25], and he has 10 major;" "You do the math", said Sampras, who in September and October by Agassi and other past sizes of the game in the Champions series can be connected.

"All time record is a lot of work and Roger obviously its list can continue to add," Sampras said. "But if Rafa is smart with his schedule and it is right, can he do well it very." "We all know how hard he works."
