Rodger Federer's straight-sets win over Jo-Willfried Tsonga set up the marquee matchup of the Australian Open quarterfinals. He will meet Andy Murray who ended Stephane Robert's Cinderella run in the round of 16.  

Murray and Federer are no strangers, of course, having met on 20 previous occasions. Murray leads their head-to-head matchups 11-9. He has also won three of the last four meetings.

Both Players on the Upcoming Match

Here is what Federer said on his upcoming match against Murray from his round of 16 post-match interview:
