Federer is celebrating 20 years at this tournament and edged closer to his fourth title.
Roger Federer of Switzerland gets ready to serve against Tobias Kamke of Germany during their men's singles match on the fifth day of the Brisbane International tennis tournament.
That triumph was Anderson's only win over Federer in six attempts - and the only time he's won a set. "I believe that probably the best surface for him is this kind of a type of hard court here in the States where he's spent a lot of his time practicing, as well. "Holding at the end of the first set was very important but in the second I played well and really went for my shots," added Federer who won 81% of points on his first serve and finished the match on 85%.Defending champion John Isner, meanwhile, powered his way to the semi-finals as Roberto Bautista Agut, who sent world number one Novak Djokovic crashing out in the previous round, was seen off 7-6 , 7-6, .
Following Petra Kvitova's exit on Tuesday, Halep needs only to reach Saturday's final to knock Naomi Osaka off the top of women's tennis after being deposed following the Japanese's second major win at the Australian Open earlier this year.
