    Rafael Nadal is furious after missing the chance to tighten his grip on this match. At 30-30 he puts a return a few inches long and it allows DelPo to wriggle out of trouble.

    Del Potro really needs to start troubling the Nadal serve now.

    Gasps around Centre Court, some people even scream. They've just heard the result on Court One.

    Juan Martin del Potro is going to have to find something from somewhere to join Kevin Anderson in the next round.

    What a remarkable comeback. We have savoured so many triumphs for Roger Federer at Wimbledon but now we saviour this man's heroic character and tennis. Not only did he battle back from two sets down, it was an overwhelming performance from Federer in the first. He is through to his first ever semi-final here at Wimbledon now.

    Boom. A huge ace for the big South African to make it 15-15. He engages Roger Federer in a baseline rally on the next, and it's the Swiss who pops long.

    30-15.

    Right at the back of the Hill one guy shouts, "Get in there Kevin!"

    He's one of a smattering clapping.

    Silence descends on the Hill. Is King Roger set to be dethroned?

    Roger Federer had a two-set lead and match point a couple of hours ago, now the defending champion and eight-time winner is on the verge of going out of Wimbledon at the quarter-final stage.

    Kevin Anderson, how are your nerves?...

    *Nadal 7-5 3-3 Del Potro

    We're still in the middle of the second set on Centre. Del Potro booms a couple of forehands to hold but they need to be exceptional to beat Nadal right now.

    Back to Court One...

    We didn't see that coming. Federer looked at ease. Then he did his very first double fault of the match at 30-30. This will be Anderson's most difficult serve of his life coming up.

    Magic, how is Roger Federer managing to muster such grace four hours into this five-set epic? He flicks a delicious winner beyond Kevin Anderson.

    But it's the South African who senses a break opportunity at 15-30... the chair umpire quietens to crowd, only for Federer to liven them up again with a leaping forehand winner.

    A first double fault of the match for Federer.

    Break point.

    The hill at Wimbledon. Exactly what Federer is climbing as he faces the man-mountain Kevin Anderson, who doesn't know the meaning of quit even if Countdown's Susie Dent shoved the OED definition in his face.

    The majority of people are cheering on Fed. There must be a KA supporter somewhere.

    *Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 4-6 11-11 Anderson

    Not quite convinced by that logic, Dave... Kevin Anderson has hit some decent winners too.

    But he does rattle down serves from some height, and even the great Roger Federer is struggling to deal with such searing pace.

    Another love-hold after a superb forehand winner from the South African.
