was a horrible decision to go down the line there too.

going to the trainer now after a slip. good call. he looks completely exhausted. hopefully he's ok though.

he doesn't look sharp. raonic playing really well though. just fell to set up break point, called for the trainer quick and saved it.

this might be one of his last chances at a title, wonder if he can play through it

Damn. Fed had more than a few chances to break, and essentially win, in the 4th set too.

Raonic was awesome down the stretch. Moved on to his first final.

Murray! If not for Tsonga he would've won the whole thing without dropping a single set.

how much longer do you think he can even play? Agassi played until about 35 years old and Federer is approaching that. this isn't an old man's sport, no matter how good Federer remains. I guess not being a power guy can help longevity a bit.

He actually mentioned that his doctors recommended this if he wanted to a play a few more years and he does. So it looks like he'll try to go another 2 or 3.

Think he is in much better shape than Agassi was as well.

I'm not sure it's easier these days to lengthen careers due to guys like Djok and Murray who are absolutely relentless, must be hell on your knees with all the high intensity running required.

Djokovic has played 5 matches.

And 9 total sets. 1 retired before the match, 2 during.

Damn, Stan. So is there a big 5 now? Guy has won his last 11 finals and 3 slams which equals Murray.
