• Four-set win over Nishikori was his 100th at Wimbledon
If Roger Federer is to win Wimbledon for the ninth time he might have to reach deeper into his past than he did in beating Kei Nishikori over four sets in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
This was his 100th victory at Wimbledon – and nobody has won that many matches at one tournament. It is as if he cannot help breaking records, rewriting all that has gone before him and pushing the boundaries further away from those who are to follow.
