In the quarterfinals, he beat Sjeng Schalken to set up a semifinal clash against Andy Roddick. The Swiss beat the American 7-6(6), 6-3, 6-3 to reach his maiden Grand Slam final.
The Swiss was up against the unseeded Mark Philippoussis and beat him in straight sets to win his first Major title.
Federer eventually won 20 Grand Slam titles, eight of them coming at Wimbledon. The 40-year-old’s last Major came in the 2018 Australian Open, where he beat Marin Cilic in the final in five sets.
Roger Federer yet to play a match since Wimbledon
Federer reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon last year before losing to Hubert Hurkacz. However, this was his last bit of action in 2021 as he missed the remainder of the season due to a knee injury.
The 40-year-old did not compete in this year’s Australian Open and is yet to provide an update regarding his return to court. He said that he is working on his fitness and that he has the drive to play tennis again.
