Federer lands semi-final place

Roger Federer took another step closer to immortality when he dispatched Juan Carlos Ferrero to take his place in the Wimbledon semi-finals.

And although Federer dropped his first set of the championships it was still a commanding 7-6 (7/2) 3-6 6-1 6-3 victory which keeps him on course to equal Bjorn Borg’s five successive Wimbledon singles titles.
