CAN Anderson do it?!?!? I dont think so. Biggest service game of his life.
Anderson didn't stop playing.
Anderson played pretty well, but Federer looked completely out of sorts since the first set, inevitable really.
That's it surely.
Well, this sucks. Come on, Đoković, win it all, please.
He’s only gone and done it 
Terrific win.
Holy shit he's done it
Insanely good by Anderson. Deserved that 100%. He outplayed Federer for at least 3 sets. He was just hanging in there for most of the last couple of hours, playing from memory.
What a comeback!
He’s a big lad.
Wow...what a match. Full props to Anderson for digging deep to come back.
Congrats to Anderson. That was a great performance.
Fed
My day absolutely ruined.

Brilliant from Anderson. His service games were so strong.
Would an England win make you feel any betterCongrats to Anderson. That was a great performance.

Well deserved for Anderson. Can’t complain.
The 10 points or so at the end of the 3rd swung the match.

Fed
My day absolutely ruined.
Why?
Fed took all that risk to miss the clay season and he didn’t even look comfortable on grass all season. He reminded me of Fed from a few years ago rather than last year where he looked invincible at times.
That double fault..
Epic win for Anderson though.

These things happen, he'll go on to get straight setted in the final I imagine.
Nadal to win Wimbledon now. Think I'm going to be sick.
Federer needs the USO to keep him at bay. It'll be 18-20 soon. Urgh.

Likely going to get worse.
At any other surface I would groan at the prospect of Raonic, Isner or Anderson in a final. But they could make a match of it in the final on grass.
The longer the match went the less Fed's chances for the rest of the tournament became, as I seriously doubt he would've been at full speed for the semi after having played 6 sets of Tennis 48 hours earlier.
Damn you Fed. 2 sets up and then this.
Good hard hitting by Anderson.

He’s looked like the 14/15 version since the beginning of the year. Jekyll and Hyde, scraped through Cilic and then dropped to DelPo before bombing out of Miami. His body can’t really sustain high intensity schedule even in spurts anymore.
Said himself after Halle that he felt he should have lost to Paire. For context, that’s only the 5th match since coming back after 3 months off.
You’d seriously need to pay me a lot of money to watch Isner Raonic..
I don't know why everyone is acting like Rafa is already in the semis, in the meantime Delpo is serving to win the second set. If he takes it it should be a good fight between those 2, if he bottles it now Rafa will probably win it in 3.
No need to watch this with Rafa and Delpo still playing

Well deserved win. Can't help but think Fed threw it away in that third set
Del Potro with the double fault
Nadal breaks back. All even.
That was poor from DelPo, huge chance wasted.
One of the few things I have to look forward to is Roger playing. Sadly my life has not much excitement. So yes, I'm sad. Looks like it's getting to the end for Roger.
Agree he's looked out of sorts since he's been back from his break.
Not really to be honest. Tennis is my favourite sport
Nah, irrespective of tennis being my fave sport, England winning would be awesome
I'm preparing myself for a loss so the comedown won't be too bad.In the meantime, Delpo losing his serve, absolute state of him. Nadal should get through here.
Anderson to win his semis and then beat Nadal/Novak in the final

Imagine watching Raonic and Isner? Two servebots. Oh dear.
Bit sad that Djokovic/Nadal don’t have the chance to ruin Fed in the Final
Tbh, lads, even the most ardent of Federer fans should be able to recognise that the last couple of years has been a massive bonus. He’s been playing with house money and even if we’ve seen him win his last slam - and I don’t think that’s a given - it’s not the end of the world. Better to have loved and lost and all that.
