Roger Federer’s comeback to the tour after nearly 14 months out ended with a 3-6, 6-1, 7-5 loss to Nikoloz Basilashvili in the Qatar Open quarter finals on Thursday.

Georgian Basilashvili saved a match point in the final set and took advantage of a tiring Federer to reach the semis.

“It’s unbelievable, he’s one of the greatest of all time. Just playing him means so much to me,” Basilashvili said. “To win against him is a dream come true, he was always my idol.”

Federer looked tired in the third set and at 3-3 had to fight hard to hold his serve.
