"I feel very privileged to be in another final," Federer, who received a standing ovation at the end, said. Federer, contesting a record 12th Wimbledon semi-final, broke serve in the fifth game when he ran Berdych ragged before whipping a ball out of the air into the corner. Out of nowhere Berdych broke back for 4-4 when Federer - to gasps from the crowd - double-faulted at break point down. Tennis has seen few better front-runners than Federer and while Berdych manfully stayed with his opponent in the second set he never was able to apply any real pressure. Three consecutive forehand winners gave a ruthless Federer control of the second set tiebreak as he moved two sets clear.
