Federer Rallies To Win Unbelievable 5 Set Thriller

Roger Federer came back from 2 sets down today to win a thrilling 5 set match against Marin Cilic. Federer was not really moving as well we all might be used to, but, after all, he is 35 now and coming off an injury plagued season that required him to miss the French Open. And he really wasn’t serving that well either, giving Cilic lots of looks at his second serve. Cilic was serving well and really dominated the first two sets. In the third and fourth sets, Federer had a number of remarkable escapes on his serve, fighting off three match points and numerous potential match points, and gutted out an incredible 11-9 fourth set tiebreak. Going into the fifth, Federer had all the momentum and it seemd only a matter of time before Cilic cracked which he did at 3-4, allowing Federer to serve out the match. Another fantastic match from one of the great players of all time. And his reward for reaching the semifinals is to face another huge server, Milos Raonic, who overpowered Sam Querrey in four sets and is playing the best tennis of his career. It will take another big effort from Fed to win that one, especially after this grueling comeback.
