Roger Federer pulls off a dramatic escape to open proceedings on Centre Court at Wimbledon, defeating Alejandro Falla 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0 to win his first round match.
Federer was down two sets and triple break point at 4-4 in the third. Falla served for the match at 5-4 in the fourth set.
"I definitely got very lucky out there today," said Federer after the match. "I lost many matches this year I should have won, today I won one I should have lost."
"He played incredible," Federer added. "He always had one good return game in each set, it put me under a lot of pressure."
