A superb comeback from Roger Federer against Marin Cilic was the highlight of a brilliant day at Wimbledon on Wednesday, as Andy Murray, Tomas Berdych and Milos Raonic also booked their spots in the tournament semi-finals.

Federer, a seven-time champion at SW19, bounced back from two sets down and saved three match points on his way to a stunning five-set win; he’ll face Raonic after the Canadian beat Novak Djokovic’s conqueror, Sam Querrey. 

Murray proved too good for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Centre Court’s evening tussle eventually, setting up a semi-final with Berdych with a win in a thrilling five-set win. The Brit was pegged back after taking the opening two stanzas, although Tsonga was unable to complete what would have been a memorable comeback.


Here are the results from Wednesday’s play and a closer look at the star men from the All England Club on men's quarter-final day.



 

Federer Sparkles in Stunning Recovery

As a 17-time Grand Slam winner, it’s impossible to ever rule out Federer, especially at Wimbledon, where he has won seven times. But at two sets down against Cilic, it was tough to see where a recovery was coming from.

Even when the 34-year-old responded to win the third set, he was on the brink three times at the end of the fourth, as the Croatian carved out three match points. Federer drew on every sinew of his experience to prompt a decider, though, which he won with panache.

It wasn’t just a remarkable comeback from Federer. As the Daily Mail’s Stuart Fraser noted, it's a brilliant achievement to make it into the semis given his advancing years:



The Swiss will take great confidence from this victory. The duration of the match may not be ideal for a player in the twilight of his career, but he’ll gain a lot of momentum as he gets set to take on Raonic.
