Roger Federer made his third ATP finals in London after defeating Marin Chilich with 6: 7 (5), 6: 4, 6: 1. The 36-year-old Swiss had secured a semi-finals before this match, and his rival had no chances to move forward. Federer`s concentration was not at the usual level at certain times, but gradually he picked up the pace and finally totally dominated. Roger`s rival in the semifinals will be the winner of the duel between David Goffen and Dominic Team, which will be played tomorrow at 22:00. The meeting was a repeat of the Wimbledon final when Chillic left the court with tears in his eyes. Now Croat has recorded the eighth loss of nine matches against the Grand Slam titles.
Federer could have made it easier if he had realized one of his three breakthroughs in the first game, but his rival retained and was then equal to the end of the set. He reached a tiebreak in which Marine was more concentrated and managed to take it. The six-time AT P Finals champion came to a decisive breakthrough that allowed him to win the second part, and in the third set totally dominated. He won eight of the last nine games. `It was a tough game I had chances in the first set, but he played better in the tiebreak, I`m glad I found a way to turn the game from dropping odds movement and I played very well at the end, ` said Federer.
