Roger Federer Saves Matchpoints and forces comeback after 2 sets down, he did the same against PSS Legend Peter Wessels in 2000! Can he go on to win the title? Match of the Day: Roger Federer has long been known for his excellence, his style and easy grace. But you don’t win 17 Grand Slam titles without a little grit, and Thursday night the Swiss showed that even when his game doesn’t flash, he knows how to gut out a victory. For the ninth time in his career – and for the first time since his very first US Open match, in 2000, against Peter Wessels – Federer came back from two sets down, outlasting the often brilliant but too-often erratic Gael Monfils, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2. With the victory, Federer advanced to the semifinals here for the first time since 2011 and kept alive his dream of a record sixth men’s singles title, which would surpass Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras for the most in the Open era. #tennis #USopen #GoRoger
