Wimbledon 2019: Roger Federer overpowers Rafael Nadal in four-setter, sets up Djokovic final

The Hindu  

It didn’t quite reach the levels it had eleven summers ago here on Centre Court, but Roger Federer put on a display worthy of his rich grass-court history to beat Rafael Nadal 7-6, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 and enter his 12th Wimbledon final. As it happened Early in the second set, following a few nervous holds from both players, Nadal broke Federer to love to go 3-1 up. Nadal nearly broke back immediately, but Federer held on, even finishing on the right side of 25-shot rally to ward off a break point. With Nadal serving at 3-5, Federer even had two match points, both of which the 12-time French Open champion saved with service winners.
