Roger Federer saw off Mikhail Youzhny in a one-way Wimbledon quarterfinal lasting barely 90 minutes Wednesday.

The Swiss third seed hit 25 winners on his way to a 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 victory to set up a semifinal with top seed Novak Djokovic or Germany's Florian Mayer, the 31 seed.

Youzhny, the 26th seed, had no answer for Federer's majestic game, but leaves the tournament having eclipsed his previous best of the fourth round.

He was the last Russian remaining in the men's or women's draw after Maria Kirilenko narrowly lost out to third seed Agnieszka Radwanska 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 in the quarterfinals.

Youzhny's best scalp on his path to the quarterfinals was eighth seed Janko Tipsarevic in the third round.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the draw, Spain's David Ferrer tries to repeat his French Open defeat of Andy Murray at the same quarterfinal stage in London.

The winner plays Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the French fifth seed, or Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber.
