Shot of the day

Nadal thought he had Federer beaten with a deft drop shot that just went over the net, but the Swiss responded with a fine backhand winner.

Stat of the day

Federer now has the most Wimbledon aces, moving past Goran Ivanisevic’s 1397.

A lasting rivalry

An underwhelming men’s tournament was brought to life in the semi-final as the greatest tennis rivalry was renewed. It was the 40th instalment of the Federer and Nadal match-up and the first at Wimbledon since the epic 2008 final. The anticipation for this match was huge and it did not disappoint with immense tennis on show in Federer’s four-set win.
