The second-ranked Swiss lost the first set but still managed to beat Marin Cilic 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1 at the ATP Finals on Thursday in London. In the third set, Federer broke early and jumped out to 3-0, and then broke again to lead 5-1. At the ATP Finals, however, he has won only once in nine matches over three appearances at the round-robin tournament. Federer, the 19-time Grand Slam champion who won his record eighth Wimbledon title, is looking to extend another record for titles at the ATP Finals. Federer has reached the semifinals at the ATP Finals 14 times and has finished the round-robin stage unbeaten 10 times.
