This is the worst result at Wimbledon for the 36-year-old Swiss since 2013. He was eliminated in the second round by Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky.
Federer, looking for his ninth final victory at Wimbledon, had since 2016 no set went on the London grass. The world number two won the tournament last year without giving up a set and also lost no set in the first four rounds.
There seemed to be no problem for the Swiss for a long time. He shot the first two sets against world number eight and even got a match point in the third. Anderson managed to attract the third company and was also the strongest in the fourth set.
In the fifth series, the game lasted a long time, but on 11-12 it was Federer who, after his first double fault the match was to allow a break point. Anderson took advantage immediately and then shot the game in his own service.
Anderson rebounded Friday in the semifinal against American John Isner, who put the Canadian Milos Raonic aside in four sets: 6-7 (5), 7-6 (7), 6-4 and 6-3
Nadal
Rafael Nadal is placed, albeit with some difficulties, before the semifinals. The world number one in a high-level match in five sets was too strong for Argentine Juan Martín del Potro: 7-5, 6-7 (7), 4-6, 6-4, and 6-4.
Nadal was able to receive congratulations only after four hours and 52 minutes receiving number four on the world rankings and number five on the placement list.
The 32-year-old Spaniard takes Friday for a place in the final against Novak Djokovic, who has played four sets with Japanese Kei Nishikori: 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 and 6-2.
Nadal is on the lookout for his third title at Wimbledon. He won the third Grand Slam tournament of the year on the sacred London lawn in 2008 and 2010.
Nadal stumbled against Del Potro while he had a 1-2 deficit in the sets, but he then ruled the back and placed the decisive break at 3-2 in the fifth game.
Djokovic
Djokovic needed only '& # 39; two hours and 38 minutes to get rid of Nishikori, the number 28 in the world rankings and the number 24 on the placement list.
Djokovic won for the first time since the US Open in 2016 the last four of a Grand Slam tournament. It has been disappointing for a year and a half, partly because of an elbow injury and motivation problems.
The 31-year-old Serbian has written three times at Wimbledon in 2011 (victory over Nadal), 2014 and 2015 (two victories over Federer).
Djokovic only had trouble with Nishikori in the second set. He delivered his service to 2-1 and had to leave the company with 6-3 to Asians.
However, number 31 on the world rankings has put things right afterwards. He only delivered two games in the third and fourth set.
