Houdini. Federer. 7 letters each. 7 match points saved. Coincidence? We think not… His back clearly in pain, Roger Federer had no business winning this quarterfinal match — many even wondered if he would retire for the first time of his career — but he eventually found a way through Tennys Sandgren, saving an incredible seven match points in the fourth set and running away with the fifth (6-3, 2-6, 2-6, 7-6(7), 6-3).
