Roger Federer has reached the semifinal of the Dubai Championships, thereby standing just two wins away from claiming his 100th ATP title.
The Swiss defeated Hungarian world number 35 Marton Fucsovics 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 in one hour 57 minutes to advance to the last four.
Federer, who is aiming for an eighth title in Dubai, will, if successful, become just the second player to win 100 singles titles after American Jimmy Connors, who won 109.
