Lot Essay

Roger Federer entered the 2018 Wimbledon Championships looking for a record-extending ninth title at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. Straight set victories against Lacko, Struff and Mannarino saw Roger safely into the second week where he faced South African Kevin Anderson for a place in the last four. Roger started strongly, leading by 2 sets to love before one of the great comebacks saw Anderson level the scores before prevailing 13-11 in the final set decider.
