Roger Federer, who moved into the semi-finals of the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals, after overcoming the South African Kevin Anderson. Federer had a shaky start to his tournament after a loss to Kei Nishikori, but has come back in spectacular fashion. He will face off against Alexander Zverev in his semi-finals match, as he targets to win his 100th title.

However Federer revealed that he was not thinking too much about the number 100 as of now. “Personally I’m still not thinking of the number, 100″, said Roger Federer in his interview. “I won’t let that get in my head, make me go crazy because it should be something I’m excited about and not something I should feel extra pressure (to earn),” Federer continued. “It’s just going to be hard to finish it. I’m happy I gave myself the opportunity”, said Federer. “I’m happy that I’m raising my level of play throughout this week. This is what I hope to do. It’s exciting to be in this situation now, of course, no doubt.”

“I think regardless of the numbers, this is a massive tournament for the players. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but I’ve loved being part of the Tennis Masters Cup, today [the Nitto ATP] Finals,”said Roger Federer. “I’ve always tried to pace myself in a way, that I would have something left in the tank, that I would peak at this event.”

“I’m happy that this is another week like this. Didn’t look like it maybe 72 hours ago,” said the Swiss Maestro. “But I was able to come back and play good tennis”, said Federer referring to his disappointing start against the Japanese Kei Nishikori. As Federer gears up to battle it out against Zverev, Novak Djokovic lurks in the other half of the semi-finals, and will face off against the Croat Marin Cilic, later today, who has said that he will do whatever it takes to derail the Djokovic train.
