Every grand slam tournament features a fairytale lower-ranked player who upsets their more
highly-fancied opposition to move deep into the tournament. And Roland Garros 2007 was to prove
no exception, with France's Gael Monfils moving into the semi-finals. Taking on Spain's 5th-seeded
David Ferrer, the unseeded Frenchman took the first set but dropped the second. The third was to
prove critical, as Monfils get the all-important break in the 8th game; then served out the set. The
fourth was to be a demolition, with Monfils racing away to take the set 6-1 and progress through to a
semi-final date with Roger Federer.
Federer progressed through, but had some dramas of his own against Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.
Amazingly, Gonzalez broke Federer twice in the first set to take the set 6-2; but that was as far as the
Chilean was able to go as Federer lifted to take the match in 4 sets.
7th seeded Elena Dementieva had her chances against Dinara Safina; taking the first set and
holding match points during the second set tie-break. But, let off the hook, Safina was to take no
chances in the third, taking the deciding set 6-0. Her semi-final opponent will be Svetlana
Kuznetsova, who ended the run of unseeded Estonian Kaia Kanepi in straight sets.
