As the competition nears the business end, there are fewer matches; but usually more even
contests. Even an unseeded player who has made it this far is in form and confident and can trouble
the top players. So it was for Gilles Muller, the unseeded Luxemborgian who found himself up
against Roger Federer. And although Federer won the match in straight sets, it was far from one-way
traffic. Although Muller was unable to break Federer, his own serve was solid and reliable, and it was
only once that Muller dropped his serve. But Federer's superiority shone through in first and third set
tie-breakers to enable the Swiss master to advance to the semi finals.
Federer's semi final opponent will be Novak Djokovic, after the Serbian third seed was too strong for
Andy Roddick. Despite a period of concentration lapse in the third set which saw Roddick take the
match out to 4 sets, Djokovic always looked to have enough in reserve to take out the match.
And the first title was decided, when Zimbabwe's Cara Black and India's Leander Paes took out a
straight sets victory in the mixed doubles final.
