Roger Federer yesterday cruised to a straights victory over home town hero Gael Monfils. Federe clinched a 6-4 6-3 7-6 win in a scrappy wind affected encounter to set up what could be mouth watering semi- final battle with man of the moment Novac Djokovic.
Djokovic, unbeaten on any surface this year lies just one victory short of John McEnroe's 42 match unbeaten run at the beginning of a season set back in 1984 .
Earlier in the day Andy Murray came through a tough five setter 4-6 4-6 6-3 6-2 7-5 with a win against Serbian Victor Troicki. Murray next faces Argentinian Juan Ignacio Chela in todays quarter-final .
In the other quarter-final world no1 Rafael Nadal faces off against Robin Soderling.
Did you Know? When Roger Federer won the French Open in 2009 he equaled Pete Sampras's record of 14 grand slam victories.
