Roger Federer Enters Semifinals
Roger Federer defeated the 11th-seeded Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-2, 6-4 in the quarter finals of the French Open. With the win he advanced to the semifinals and making it his 20th consecutive Grand slam semifinal appearance. Federer in a post match interview said that he felt the pressure before the match and was very nervous as he expected a tough and difficult match.
Federer faced some resistance from the Frenchman I the opening game and then in the tie-break of the first set. Federer has in his career won 13 grand slam titles and the only title evading him till now is the French Open and now after Nadal’s exit he looks to be the most favorite contender.
