In what was a one-sided match, Federer blew away Soderling 6-4, 6-4 and 7-5. Soderling had earlier beaten Federer in the quarterfinals of the French open. Roger will play Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.

In another sweet moment for the Indians, Rohan Bopanna teaming with Pakistan's Aisam Qureshi has reached the final of the men's doubles event. The pair beat Argentine duo of Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zaballos 7-6, 6-4 in the semifinals on Thursday.
