Chronicling Roger Federer's 100th match at 3 different Grand Slams

#100th match at Wimbledon: 2017 Semifinals (Beat Berdych)

Federer beats Berdych in the 2017 Wimbledon semifinals

A year removed from his only setback in 11 previous last-four matches at Wimbledon, Federer beat Milos Raonic in straight sets to arrive in his 12th Wimbledon semifinal - where Czech Tomas Berdych awaited.

In his 100th match at Wimbledon, Federer made a fast start and opened up a 4-1 lead, only for two double faults to hand the break back to Berdych. The Swiss made the cleaner strikes in the ensuing tiebreak to take a one-set lead.

In the second set, Berdych survived more break points en route to another tiebreak, where Federer unleashed four blistering forehand winners to reel off four points in a row for a 5-1 lead. The Swiss won his second tiebreak of the match to take a commanding two-set lead and a stranglehold over the match.

After surviving break points on serve, Federer broke Berdych for the second time in the match. More forehand wizardry followed from the Swiss when serving for the match, and Federer sealed a hard-fought three-set win to reach his 11th title match at Wimbledon.

Two days later Federer would beat Marin Cilic to lift his record 8th Wimbledon title.
