average age 28. that's the oldest average of a W QF lineup since 1974(which had its average skewed a bit by 40 year old Rosewall)
and the oldest average at any major QF since '77 AO(which had a smaller draw & most of the top 20 absent)
The Fed Youzhny Qf is the first QF at a major between two 30 year olds since 2008(Schuettler-Clement)
The youngest W QF lineup was in '07(Djokovic, Gasquet, Nadal, Berdych, Baghdatis, Roddick, Federer, Ferrero, average age 23)
