VIDEO: Watch the Final Point of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's Epic 2019 Wimbledon Semifinal
By Karl Rasmussen
If we weren't going to get a fifth set, at least the fourth extended all the way to the boundaries of human potential. Pretty good consolation prize, eh? Roger Federer nabbed the first set against his long-time rival in a tiebreak, fumbled the second away 6-1, but then captured the next two with only one break each in his pocket. After furious Rafael Nadal rallies clouded up the final two games of the fourth, this final strike landed wide, and Fed advanced to the Final against Novak Djokovic.

Light work on Sunday, huh?
This is only the fourth time these two have ever locked horns at the All-England Club, where Federer hopes to earn his record-extending ninth title this weekend.
