Top 5 five setters which Roger Federer won

Roger Federer v Gael Monfils (US Open 2014, Quarterfinal)

2014 US Open - Day 11

Federer is ever known for his immense control over his nerves and even in the most hapless of situations, he can convert it into his favour. The 2014 US Open quarter-finals also began in that light with Frenchman Gael Monfils winning the first two sets rather swiftly and going up by two match points.

In the midst of such crucial conditions, Federer kept his cool and saved those two match points and went on to take the next three sets in quick succession to send Monfils packing home just when he was on the brink of thinking 'I almost defeated Roger Federer.

The Swiss ace saw off the lanky Frenchman in 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-2. This sheer ability of Federer to surprise and survive in the long matches owing to experience and his genius is really what makes him invincible and perhaps, the greatest of all time.
