Perfect Federer closes in on record

Roger Federer says winning a record eighth Wimbledon crown tomorrow would be the biggest achievement of his glittering career.

Federer proved he can still “outrun time” and reclaim his grass-court empire by beating Milos Raonic yesterday to reach his ninth Wimbledon final.

The 32-year-old dismissed Raonic 6-4 6-4 6-4, dispelling the Canadian challenger’s prediction his All-England Club era could come to a close.
