London - Arab Today
Roger Federer rallied from two sets down for the 10th time in his career, overhauling shell-shocked Marin Cilic 6-7 (4-7), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (11-9), 6-3 on Wednesday to storm into the semi-finals at Wimbledon.
The Swiss hero last pulled off the Houdini act at the 2014 US Open, when he came back from the depths to beat Gael Monfils.
He set another record with his 307th match victory at a grand slam - more than any other male or female player in history.
The seven-time champion equalled Jimmy Connors' record of 11 Wimbledon semi-final appearances as he engineered his fightback in little more than three and a quarter hours, dpa reported.
Federer, who missed the French Open with back pain, will next take on Milos Raonic, who beat Novak Djokovic's conqueror Sam Querrey 6-4, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4.
