ROGER FEDERER ONE MATCH AWAY FROM OLYMPIC TITLE AFTER LONGEST MEN’S THREE-SET MATCH Kathmandu, : Roger Federer is one victory away from filling the last space in his creaking trophy cabinet after beating Argentine Juan Martin del Potro in a four-hour 26 minute epic to reach the Olympic men's singles final at Wimbledon on Friday, Reuters reports from London. The 30-year-old Swiss survived a record-breaking scrap to win 3-6 7-6 19-17 in the longest men's three-set match played in the professional era. The third set alone took an astonishing 163 minutes with Federer, who served for the match at 10-9 but was broken to love, claiming victory when his exhausted opponent fired an attempted backhand pass into the net. nnnn
