Roger needed a five set victory to reach the GREAT EIGHT at the Australian Open and keep his hopes alive for a record breaking 14th Grand Slam!!!
(AP) MELBOURNE, Australia – For two sets it looked as if Roger Federer’s run at a record 14th Grand Slam title was going to be derailed by Tomas Berdych at the Australian Open.
Then the 6-foot-5 Czech had a meltdown, and Federer pounced, recovering for a 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory Sunday — only his fourth career comeback from two sets down — to reach the quarterfinals.
Roger…you da man!!!
