'That's a message': Federer makes massive fashion statement
Roger Federer put the other Wimbledon quarter-finalists on notice with a signature look that we haven't seen in years.
Before his incredible five-set tussle with Marin Cilic on Wednesday night, the Swiss Maestro arrived on centre court rocking his trademark blazer.

Commentators Todd Woodbridge and John Newcombe saw the outfit choice as a signal to his rivals.
"He used to wear that years ago when the confidence was high", Woodbridge said.
"He's sending a signal 'look at me, I'm the seven-time champion'", replied Newcombe.
The Aussie legends were very impressed by Federer's confidence and aura ahead of the crunch clash.
"He's come out with a statement there", said Woodbridge.
The blazer didn't go unnoticed by fans on social media.

The fashion statement appeared to backfire as Cilic took a two-set lead, but Federer pulled off a Houdini act to move into a record-equalling 11th semi-final with a five-set comeback win.
