Roger Federer advanced to the SemiFinal defeating Tsonga in straight sets today. It was a sweet revenge forFederer who had lost his last two matches against Tsonga this year. One was ahumiliating defeat in Wimbledon after being 2 sets up and second in Rogers Cup!Everyone must be thinking as to what Federer did differently than the previous twomatches: 

Here is the answer:

Winning % on 2nd Serve	67%	63%	40%

Unforced Errors	11	32	30

Federer played a superb gamethroughout the match and was ahead of Tsonga in almost all the areas exceptUnforced Errors. But as we can clearly see, Tsonga has to blame himself forlosing today's match as he could not get into any rhythm during the match. 

Tsonga played far below his level shown at Wimbledon/Rogers Cup and was totally out ofanswers to Federer's near perfect display of tennis. Tsonga's 1st Serve wentdown by 17%, winners were only 17 against 63 in Wimbledon and unforced errors went to 34. All in all, Tsonga was nowhere near his usual game today andFederer captured onto this part and played some breathtaking shots during thematch.

All in all, we are all set forthe dream SF this coming Saturday and my next article tomorrow will be focusedon this epic battle between Federer and Djokovic and a look at the stats as to what they have to say!
