Roger Federer moved to within two match wins of qualifying for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Friday when he reached the Swiss Indoors Basel semi-finals.
Federer, who will play Vasek Pospisil on Saturday, was made to work hard for a 6-3, 7-6(2) win over Grigor Dimitrov in their first FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting.
Federer recovered from 3-5, 0/40 in the second set en route to his 38th victory of the year (38-13 overall).
Should the former Basel ball boy win the title for the sixth time he will qualify for the season-ending tournament, which will be held at The O2 in London from 4-11 November, for the 12th straight year.
Federer has now won 50 matches at the ATP World Tour 500 tournament in Basel. It is the fifth different tournament he’s won 50 or more matches.
