Fed is just mowing through him when he serves. Every point Cilic scores looks like a battle.

He's hanging in there, though.

I’ve seen matches like this where the guy in control for almost the entire match blows 1 service game or loses in the tiebreaker, and you look up and it’s 1-set apiece.

Like 6 shots at least 5 feet out.

No doubt. Cilic has a chance if he can win this set. He's putting up a damn good fight

Morning. This thing was close to going the distance.

Spoke too soon. But this is a classic Federer break-back spot.

Almost feels like Roger is tipping his serves. Cilic seems to be guessing right all the time. Although when you hit the 1st serve at a 36% clip in the 4th, it’s tough to win that set.

When Cilic had break points in the first game of the 5th, I thought it was over for Fed


Cilic played at God-mode for about 7 games starting at when fed was up 3-1 in the 4th

That's Number 20. Cilic just had to be telling himself "this guy is too good" after Fed grinded out the hold and break to open the 5th.

When Cilic won the fourth set, the way Federer played so poorly, I thought Cilic had it.

Weird match. Roger had chances to put it away in the fourth and yet it felt like Cilic was the much better player when he got on that roll. Then, Roger looked like he was done at the start of the fifth.

Federer is just unbelievable. I hope he can win at least one more major.

Was weird. After the fourth, it looked like Cilic was getting stronger and Fed was fading.
