Roger Federer's final shot of the day kissed the net & some how, dribbled over the net & the ball some how, died on the grass as Isner could only watch & curse his luck. Every one sitting in the Centre court was shell-shocked as Federer offered a quick apology to his 6"9' opponent John Isner.
It perhaps was the windiest day of the year & conditions were really tough.
Both players tried to go for quick winners because of the gusty conditions & thus, points & rallies were very short.
As you will see from the match stats ----
The match was very-2 close & as you can see from the above stats, there was only a 3 points difference between these two.
Even during the first set, when Isner was serving on 4-4, on 30-40, Isner made a forehand error which cost him the game & the first set. Isner after that unforced error stomped his chair chewing on his shirt, sat and buried his head in a towel.
Other than these points on which I emphasized above, what really was the main difference between these two was the magical backhand of Roger Federer which was in full flow today.
Also, one more point worth emphasizing was the fact that Roger Federer kept his unforced errors in check in spite of the strong wind.
The final score-line read 6-5, 7-6(5) & in the first Semi-final, Roger Federer will face Del potro (match starts at 12pm BST at centre court),
while DJokovic & Murray will clash in the second semi-final.
