Federer scraps through to the fourth round after beating Tipsarevic 10-8 in the fifth. Fantastic match. Many unforced errors from Federer and very few break points won the main reason to why it took almost four and a half hours before he won the match.

one of the best games ive seen that was.
Credit to Tipsarevic, he hit some cracking shots."When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman" Tony Yeboah

Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga produced an outstanding display to oust second seed Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-3 6-2 and reach the final of the Australian Open.
The unseeded 22-year-old, who beat Britain's Andy Murray in round one, was coolness personified and some precise volleying created a break in game two.
He maintained his awesomely powerful shots into the corner and a love game secured the next set in 50 minutes.
Nadal found no answer to his inspired opponent and bowed out in 117 minutes.
Tsonga was in such complete command that Nadal did not not have a break point until the second game of the third set.
The Spaniard had two chances in that game, but Tsonga somehow managed to return a fierce groundstoke aimed straight at his body from close range.
Nadal spurned another rare chance, while Tsonga was briefly infuriated when an ace had to be replayed having been overruled by an official, only for replays to prove the ball had been inside the line.
It did not prove significant as Tsonga then sent down successive aces and quickly held serve.
That proved to be Nadal's final hope and after sending a cross-court attempt wide of the line he lost his serve to trail 2-1 and was soon shaking his head in disbelief beneath his towel at the changeover.
Tsonga broke again and sealed an epic victory with an ace, a match which saw him produce 48 winners to 13 from the Spaniard.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
