LONDON: Roger Federer has one of the world's best overheads so when he botched two smashes on his way to dropping serve in the second game of his ATP Finals semi-final against Stefanos Tsitsipas on Saturday he knew it might be a rough day.

"That's not something you can train or practise for. That's tough, just feet were not quite there yet, still not quite getting used to the high one and all that stuff." With the other semi-final between defending champion Alexander Zverev, 22, and 26-year-old Dominic Thiem, it is perhaps another signal that the old guard are under attack like never before. Or perhaps not.

"But we are not getting any younger. So chances increase not because we are getting worse but because they are getting better, I believe."
