Roger Federer showed some amazing stuff during today's match against Juan Martin DEL POTRO, Roger (n. 2) gave a lesson to young man which was supposed to be a trouble for the Swiss man.

The Argentine shrugged when asked what happened. Federer happened, he said. "I had a bad day and he's Roger Federer". The Swiss won 83 points, the Argentine 36.

So, WORLD No.2 Roger Federer turned on a master class to cruise into his 19th consecutive grand slam semi-final at the Open last night. The Swiss great, chasing a record-equalling 14th grand slam title, demolished 20-year-old Argentinian eighth seed Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 in just 80 minutes.

Del Potro, the 198cm world No.6, is regarded as one of the rising stars of men's tennis, having stormed up the rankings from No.65 midway through last year. But he had a nightmare match, cast in the role of mouse to Federer's cat, as the former world No.1 toyed with his opponent before producing a swift kill.

The Argentinian looked outclassed and helpless to exert any pressure as Federer playfully pulled off an audacious array of shots from all parts of the court. (source smh.com.au).

Just two weeks ago, i was thinking that the perfect Federer was gone, but he found a way to make me wrong, he is back and that's just a amazing thing, hope he will go on and we'll take part of a great final...

Go On Roger!

The big come on from Roger Federer at the Melbourne Park where a bad thing could happen.He was playing, in Tomas Berdych, a man he had beaten seven straight times, and the sun was shining in the Melbourne afternoon sky. Then the game started. Berdych was very impressive at the beggining of the match and that was why Roger started to ask himself questions...but Roger has always the good thing to think about : “I kind of felt after a terrible first set from my side that if I probably want to win this it's going to go to five sets. I just felt it. I knew Tomas was dangerous, and if I played even still a great set or three great sets, it's probably not going to happen. He would squeeze one great set in there somewhere, second, third, or fourth,” said Federer. “That's why I kind of was prepared for five from the start. I think that's what made me be so determined towards the end. It was nice being in a battle with him. It was fair play. It was tough, good tennis towards the end. I believed in it all the way, and I think that was key in the end.”
