Should he triumph, Federer will become the oldest winner of the Challenge Cup since tennis turned professional in 1968. I love this tournament," Federer said after another vintage performance dealt with Czech Tomas Berdych in the semi-final. In seven meetings with the tall Croat, Federer has lost just once - in the semi-final of the 2014 U.S. Open when Cilic went on to win the title. In last year's Wimbledon quarter-final, Federer needed five sets and saved three match points to get past Cilic and that should give the Croatian some hope. Roger is playing maybe some of the best tennis of his career at the moment, having a great season.
