Anderson looks well on top here.

 

[Anil]

going to a 5th...knew this was going to be a tough test for federer, unless he raises his game significantly, his campaign could very likely end here...

 

[OverratedSanity]

And he breaks. Federer's level has absolutely plummeted. Needs something big here or Anderson's going to run away with this.

 

[Cow]

Fed and Nadal will both lose today

And on to a fifth set... Anderson could take this match..

 

[OverratedSanity]

He had match point in the 3rd. Immense choke/comeback.

 

[Anil]

yep he is looking listless and not at all confident, anderson is looking really energized, this is going the south african's way...

 

[OverratedSanity]

The last set and a half has been Federer just trying to hang on by serving well. Anderson has completely dominated rallies and his serving has been ridiculous.

Turning into the best match of the men’s draw imo, Both guys digging in in this 5th set. Wouldn’t like to call it right at this moment in time .

 

[OverratedSanity]

Anderon breaks. This looks like it's over.

 

[harsh.ag]

Finish it, Kevin!

 

[StephenZA]

So wonderful.... and not so wonderful all at the same time. Great from Anderson. He has just got better and better over the last 3 years.....

 

[harsh.ag]

Wow. Just wow.

What a serve. What ground shots. Kevin ****ing Anderson!

I blame Uniqlo

 

[Anil]

Who was last player to reach Wimbledon quarters at 35 years of age before Federer (mains singles main draw).

Any one? A bit stumped.

 

[Johnners]

Not sure about the quarters, but I remember reading something last year about how Federer is the oldest to make the Semi's since Ken Rosewall when he was 39/40 in the 74

Awful ladies semi finals. Ost did not show up and Goerges ball bashing and absolutely **** all else not helped.
