Roger books spot in semis

Roger has made it through to the semis of the French Open today thanks to a solid 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(3) victory against France's Gaël Monfils. He will now play Novak Djokovic on Friday.

Roger started slowly today and fell a break behind on his second serve. But it did not take him long to take control and score two breaks himself to secure the first set. The two players exchanged breaks again at the start of the second set and it was finally Roger who took the set thanks to another break. Monfils dug deep in the third set, but our champ raised his game in the tie-break to comfortably seal the victory.

Roger is now in for another match against Novak Djokovic whose stakes are high - he has won his last 41 singles and is just one victory short of the record of the best start into the season of all times.
