2019 Wimbledon Championships Men's Singles QF's Roger Federer(Swiss)beats Kei Nishikori reach SF's

The number ‘100’ is proving an important one for Roger Federer in 2019.
Earlier this year, the 37-year-old Swiss earned his 100th tour-level title in Dubai. And on Wednesday, Federer beat No. 8 seed Kei Nishikori 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 to earn his 100th Wimbledon match win, advancing to the semi-finals at the All England Club for a record 13th time.
Eight-time champion Federer is the first player in history to earn 100 victories at a Grand Slam championship. Former World No. 1 Jimmy Connors had been closest to accomplishing the feat before Federer’s run this fortnight. The American won 98 matches at the US Open.
Most Wins By Grand Slam
 Tournament Player Wins
 Australian Open Roger Federer 97
 Roland Garros Rafael Nadal 93
 Wimbledon Roger Federer 100
 US Open Jimmy Connors 98
Federer will meet Nadal at Wimbledon for the fourth time. They clashed on the historic London lawns each year from 2006-08, with Federer triumphing on the first two occasions to lift the trophy and Nadal claiming his maiden crown at The Championships in 2008.
