World number two Roger Federer maintained his unbeaten run at The ATP World Tour Finals in London with a come-from-behind victory over Milan Cilic.
Federer had already secured his place in the semi-finals before his final round-robin match on Thursday in which he claimed a 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-1 victory.
The Swiss maintained his impressive record of only having lost four times all season.
He also stayed on track for the potential maximum award of 1,500 rankings points if he wins all five matches at the tournament. This would send him into 2018 right on Rafael Nadal’s tail, only 140 points behind.
