The top 2 seeds will battle out the mens' singles final after Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both took out
straight-sets wins in their semi final matches.
Roger Federer was first up against Marat Safin, and it didn't take long for the Swiss champion to assert
his authority, breaking Safins serve in his opening service game and holding a break point in the next.
After that he seemed to go on cruise control, the second set going with serve until the tie-break which
Federer had no trouble in dominating before it was one-way traffic in the third.
Nadal had a tougher time of it against Rainer Schuttler after dominating the first set. Schuttler fought back
in the second and broke Nadal's serve; and served for the set at 5-4. But Nadal, as he so often does,
broke back to love which appeared to break Schuttler's spirit. The second set went to a tie-breaker, but
once Nadal had clinched that there was little doubt how the third set would play out.
