Wimbledon 2019: Roger Federer wins 100 match at SW19 to set up semi-final with Rafael Nadal


Roger Federer brought up a century of Wimbledon victories as he set up a mouthwatering semi-final with his old rival Rafael Nadal.

The 37-year-old, who won his first match at SW19 as a 19-year-old in 2001, shook off a nervy start to beat Kei Nishikori 4-6 6-1 6-4 6-4 in the quarter-final on Centre Court.

He is the first man to reach 100 wins at any Grand Slam and is now into his 13th last-four clash at Wimbledon.

Federer is chasing a place in his 12th final at SW19 and his ninth Wimbledon title, but if he is going to do that he will have to beat Rafael Nadal and then, most likely, Novak Djokovic.
