Federer says he had 3% chance to win in semifinals

Roger Federer was suffering from a groin injury that cropped up during his quarter-final against Sandgren, and was happy to reach the semifinals.

“Overall, at the end of the day I guess I'm very happy. I got to be happy with what I achieved. It was the maximum to go to get at this tournament, especially after the Millman and the Sandgren match,” Federer said after losing to Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.

“Today was horrible, to go through what I did. Nice entrance, nice sendoff, and in between is one to forget because you know you have a three per cent chance to win. Got to go for it. You never know. But once you can see it coming, that it's not going to work anymore, it's tough,” ATP official website quotes the tennis legend.

In the final Djokovic will face the winner of Dominic Thiem v. Alexander Zverev pair.
