    Here's Roger Federer: "I think I got lucky tonight. Stan played better from the baseline and that usually does the job on this court. But I kept fighting. It's tough but I'm thrilled to be in another final in London.

    "Novak is playing great tennis. It usually brings the best out of me, it's going to be tough but I'll give it a shot."

    "Poor old Stan Wawrinka. He could not have done any more. He threw the kitchen sink at Federer and even served and volleyed. He leaves the arena to a standing ovation."

    What resistance shown from Roger Federer. He had to save four match points, but somehow he has held on and booked his place in the final.

    Wawrinka looks absolutely devastated as he trudges off the court.

    Djokovic versus Federer tomorrow in the final. Make sure you do not miss it.

    Federer is closing on a ninth appearance in the final of this event. A delicate drop shot takes him to within one point.

    Fourth match point for Wawrinka. But it's a big Federer serve down the middle and Wawrinka's return goes long. Another missed opportunity. How many more chances will he get?

    A passing shot down the line, is in by a quarter-of-a-ball's width to take Federer 4-2 ahead. He needs three more points for a place in the final.

    First mini-advantage for Federer. And Wawrinka, who nets with a backhand, looks in pain as he clutches his thigh.

    "Wawrinka is going to have to call on all his inner strength to hold here."

    Federer leads. What drama in the O2 Arena in London. Wawrinka, who had three match points to move into the final, is now serving to save the match.

  16. Postpublished at 22:44 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    A backhand winner down the line, followed by a forehand cross-court winner gives Wawrinka 0-30 on Federer's serve. An unforced error from the world number two, dragging one wide, gives Wawrinka two break points, which Federer then saves. We may be here for a while yet.

  17. Break of serve - Federerpublished at 22:41 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    Stan Wawrinka is going to have nightmares about this match for a long time if he does not win it. Three times he was on match point on his own serve. Three times he failed to get over the line.

    Federe then breaks his serve in a thrilling and dramatic game. We are now back on serve. Federer breathes again.

    "There are people bowing to Roger Federer in the crowd, waving flags and high-fiving each other."

    That's three match points saved from Federer.

  20. Postpublished at 22:36 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    Wawrinka saves a break point, and hauls it back to deuce after a 21-shot rally. He then has his second match point with a volley at the net. Federer can't get there and hits his chair with his racquet. One more point for glory.

    But wait. A volley at the net would normally be routine for Wawrinka. Match point against Federer is not a normal situation and Wawrinka punches it into the net from close-range.
