Justine Henin (BEL) - Through to Final

Top seed Roger Federer has qualified for the final, taking out a straight-sets win over 10th
seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semi final.
In a dominant display, Federer took less than an hour and a half to dispose of his
opponent, at times seeminly toying with him in a one-sided performance. The tone was set
from the start, with Federer breaking Tsonga's serve in the first game of the match on his
way to a 6-2 win for the set. The second set was slightly more even, but Federer again
broke twice for the set to record a 6-3 victory.
The last set was one-way traffic, and although Tsonga somehow managed to take two
games, the set was all over in 22 minutes. The Swiss ace was unstoppable, his serve too
good for Tsonga to penetrate and his ground-shots were a pleasure to watch. If Federer
can maintain that sort of form into the final, Andy Murray would need to do something truly
remarkable to challenge him.
Some finals were played, including the womens' doubles, which was another piece of
silverware for the all-conquering Williams sisters. Venus and Serena were again far too
good for their opponents, even top seeds Cara Black and Liezel Huber were never in the
contest.
The junior and wheelchair doubles tournaments were also concluded. Tomorrow sees the
womens' singles final, with Serena Williams taking on Justine Henin.
