FEDERER 6-3 6-7 5-3 - BREAK - Federer is looking to sprint for the final stretch with two neat returns to go 30-0 up against the serve, but Tsonga meets the upping of the ante well, forcing two errors for 30-30. He then aces for 40 but outs for deuce. Federer takes two advantage points but Tsonga fights hard to cancel both out, including a great volley at full stretch for the second.

FEDERER 6-3 6-6 (6-6)- After taking the first point, Federer's first double fault makes it 1-1. Fed plays some masterful stuff to go 3-1 up but hits out for 3-2.
