Federer holds a 5-2 career lead over Simon who reached his maiden All England Club quarter-final by knocking out 2010 runner-up and sixth seed Tomas Berdych.
The Swiss star claimed victory on a sixth match point against Bautista Agut, whose challenge was seriously compromised by needing treatment on his right ankle after a bad fall in the sixth game of the second set.
