In the world of tennis, Roger Federer has eased into the quarterfinals of the Swiss Indoor tournament in Basel after crushing Moldova's Radu Albot in straight sets.

The 38-year-old Swiss, who's only lost 6 games so far in the tournament, dispatched his 2nd round opponent in just 62 minutes. The 20-time Grand Slam champion won the 1st set to love and claimed the 2nd 6-3.

Federer’s 22nd straight win at the Swiss Indoors puts him on course for a 10th title at his home event. In the last 8, he'll face either Stan Wawrinka or Frances Tiafoe, who both earned straight-set wins earlier on Wednesday.
