Mens semi-final day saw two epic encounters, but in the end it was Roger Federer and Robin Soderling
who won through to the final.
First up was Robin Soderling against Fernando Gonzalez. Soderling looked set to continue his giant-
killing run when he took the first two sets, but the Chilean 12th seed then swung into action with wins in
the 3rd and 4th set to take the match to a deciding set. But, with the match in the balance, Soderling found
the all-important break to take out the match.
Next up was Roger Federer up against Juan Martin Del Potro. Federer, looking for his first French Open
title, looked in trouble after dropping the first set, just falling over the line in the second set tiebreaker and
being broken twice in the third to lose the set 6-2. The Argentinian looked to have all the answers, but his
ability to last the distance let him down. Federer stepped up, applying greater pressure in the 4th set to
take it 6-1, and continued that form in the deciding set to take it 6-4.
