One of the great South African performances at Wimbledon. Kevin Anderson advances to the semi-finals of Wimbledon after defeating the eight time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer. Kevin fought back from two sets down to win a five set thriller in a match that lasted over 4 hours. pic.twitter.com/i2Adoe1Xur
