FedEx made to sweat
CINCINNATI: Top seed Roger Federer struggled to a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 victory over Spaniard Nicolas Almagro on Friday to reach the semi-finals of the Cincinnati Masters.
The world number one was unusually erratic as he dropped his first set of the week before recovering his poise to set up a clash with Lleyton Hewitt.
揑 actually think I played better today than I did yesterday, |

Justine and Jelena move into last four
 | Fairytale run: China抯 Yan Zi celebrates after her passage to the semifinals of the Toronto Cup on Friday.
|
TORONTO: World number one Justine Henin and second seed Jelena Jankovic refused to be blown off course by recording quarter-final wins on a wild and windy day at the Toronto Cup on Friday.
With just two matches under her belt since a semi-final loss at Wimbledon, Henin appeared frustrated by the gusting winds that buffeted players all day at the Rexall tennis centre.
But the battling Belgian stood her ground and weathered an early challenge from sixth-seeded Russian Nadia Petrova to post a 7-6, 6-3 win and secure a semi-final date with Chinese qualifier Yan Zi.
Ranked 169 in the world, Yan continued her Cinderella run, advancing when Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli of France retired trailing 6-2, 3-0 with the flu to become the third Chinese player to reach the semi-final of a WTA Tier I event.
Jankovic closed in on her fifth title of the season, taming Virginie Razzano of France 7-5, 6-2 to set up a final-four showdown with another Frenchwoman, Tatiana Golovin, who toppled third seed Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia 2-6, 7-5, 6-1. |
