LONDON – Five thoughts from men’s quarterfinal day at Wimbledon.

• Roger Federer scored one of the bigger wins of his career—which is saying something—coming back from a 0-2 deficit and staving off match points to beat Marin Cilic 6-7, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. Federer started slow but finished strong—“playing super-great” as he put it—and is back in another Grand Slam Final Four at (all together now) almost 35 years of age.
