I'm somewhat amazed that Federer at this age still has the know how and skill to keep winning and make it to the semis. I watched part of his match with Stan- just the first set, and was thinking "man this guy's gonna get blown off the court". Yet somehow, he managed to win and take advantage of mistakes stan was making. I think one of the reasons we habitually underestimate Fed compared to say Nadal or Djokovic is that we don't always see what Fed's doing with the ball- what he's trying to accomplish. With Nadal and Djokovic, because their games and tactics are so visible/outright- there is no mystery, and you can see when their tactics are succeeding. With Fed, his game is much more subtle me thinks.
