Federer has chance to end Djokovic treak at the French open
1 June 2011 / AP, PARIS
Roger Federer was the last man to beat Novak Djokovic on a tennis court, and he can be the next one as well.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion set up a delectable semifinal match against the second-seeded Serb by defeating Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (3) on Tuesday at the French Open. If he beats Djokovic on Friday, it will end the two-time major champion’s perfect season and 43-match winning streak. “It’s not the driving force behind this match, to be honest. For me, the plan is trying to get a step further and into the finals of the French Open,” said Federer, the 2009 champion at Roland Garros. Defending champion Francesca Schiavone and No. 11 Marion Bartoli also reached the semifinals. Federer has not dropped a set in five matches at this year’s French Open.
