Djokovic has only dropped one set en route to the final four and that came in his opening match against Jan-Lennard Struff.

As for Federer, he faced injury in the game against Sangren. However, there was also a big injury scare as the 20-time Grand Slam winner took a nine-minute medical timeout because of an issue with his groin.

Federer will see his doctor get the full diagnosis. He said: "I don't know if you can call it an injury. It's just pain and problems. I need to figure it out now.

"But as it's not like in 18 hours like you got a third-round to play, semifinals, you have an extra day, adrenaline, there's a lot of things. Two good nights of sleep, doctors, physios.

"Hopefully we'll find out that it's actually nothing bad, that it was just the groin that went really tight from playing a lot, who knows what, from nerves. I don't know.

"I'm hopeful. We'll find out tonight, tomorrow. The next day we'll see how it goes."
