LONDON (AP) - After saving three match points in the fourth set, Roger Federer made it through to the semifinals at Wimbledon for the 11th time.

The seven-time champion came back from a two-set deficit to beat Marin Cilic 6-7 (4), 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 on Centre Court as he continues his run for a record eighth Wimbledon title.

At 34, Federer is the oldest man to reach the semifinals at the All England Club since 39-year-old Ken Rosewall was runner-up in 1974.

Federer will play Milos Raonic in the semifinals on Friday.
