LONDON — After saving three match points in the fourth set, Roger Federer made it through to the semifinals at Wimbledon for the 11th time.
The seven-time champion came back from a two-set deficit to beat Marin Cilic 6-7 (4), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 on Centre Court as he continues his run for a record eighth Wimbledon title.
At 34, Federer is the oldest man to reach the semifinals at the All England Club since 39-year-old Ken Rosewall was runner-up in 1974.
Federer will play Milos Raonic in the semifinals on Friday. Raonic, the sixth-seeded Canadian, beat Sam Querrey 6-4, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4 on No. 1 Court.
Raonic, who has added John McEnroe to his coaching team this year, previously reached the semifinals at the All England Club in 2014, losing to Roger Federer in straight sets.
Querrey defeated Novak Djokovic in the third round, becoming the first American to beat a top-ranked player at Wimbledon since Kevin Curren downed McEnroe in the 1985 quarterfinals.
