Video - Shanghai 2019: Federer Saves Three Match Points in an Epic Moment

While he seemed doomed, Roger Federer resurrected himself during an epic game in Shanghai. Three match points erased, a sublime break back, and a Shanghai court ignited by the eternal Maestro.

In 2019, at 38 years old, Roger Federer continued to push the limits and found himself in the quarterfinals in Shanghai against Alexander Zverev, then the No. 5 seed.

The Swiss was close to losing in straight sets, trailing 6-3, 6-5, 40-0 on Zverev's serve. It was at that moment that he decided to bring out his best game, saving the three match points. Then he broke back a few moments later thanks to a half-volley that seemed to come from another world.

A sequence that was not enough for Federer, who ultimately fell to his opponent in three sets (6-3, 6-7, 6-3).
