5 of Roger Federer's best matches in 2017

4) Wimbledon vs Milos Raonic

This quarter-final was a repeat of last year's semi-final encounter, where Federer lost and consequently finished the season due to persistent knee and back injuries.

Here though, he produced a masterclass early on which allowed him to assert his dominance. 6-4, 6-2, he was ahead in just over an hour's play at SW19.

In the third set, Raonic knew he needed to respond and did precisely that: increasing his level to lead 3-0 in set three. Federer then unleashed a barrage of winners in quick succession, going on to win seven on the next eight points - which included a forehand return winner down the line from a 115mph slice serve.

A number of Roger's shots were excellent to watch in this encounter and his 45 winners just tells the story, as he edged the third and final set in a 7-4 tiebreak victory.
