Djokovic, Federer fight back to advance to Wimbledon semi-finals

Seven-time champion Roger Federer and World No. 2 Novak Djokovic have advanced into the Wimbledon semi-finals.

Federer and Djokovic, both, had to fight back to claim their place in the semi-finals at Wimbledon.

According to the BBC, Federer lost the opening set of his quarterfinal to fellow Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka before coming through 3-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court while Djokovic was two sets to one down to Croatia's Marin Cilic, but recovered to win 6-1, 3-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-2.

Djokovic will face Grigor Dimitrov, who beat defending champion Andy Murray, in the semifinals.

Federer will face eighth seed Milos Raonic, who overcame Nick Kyrgios 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), as the 17-time Grand Slam winner attempts a go at his ninth Wimbledon final.

Raonic reportedly ended his dream run to become the first Canadian man to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals in 106 years.

Djokovic said that he has been there and played five-setters in his life, adding that he was down and coming back, so he knew what he needed to do.

Federer said that it is tough playing against a friend, adding that Wawrinka played great especially in the first two sets, until he started to really struggle with his fitness.
