Roger Federer Reaches French Open Final


Roger Federer set up a French Open final with champion Rafael Nadal after ending Novak Djokovic's winning streak of 41 matches in 2011 with a 7-6 6-3 3-6 7-6 victory on Friday.

Federer is an astonishing 174-0 after winning the first two sets in any Grand Slam event in his career. Winner gets Rafael Nadal, who crushed Andy Murray in straight sets this morning.

The Swiss third seed also stopped the Serb from taking over as world number one as Djokovic failed in his quest to equal John McEnroe's 1984 record of 42 wins since the start of the season.
