French Open 2009 Semifinals Results: Roger Federer Back into Finals After Surviving Five-Set Battle with Juan Martin Del Potro

Roger Federer is just one win away from achieving a career Grand Slam after he overcame a 2-1 deficit to knock off Juan Martin Del Potro in the French Open semifinals 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 at Roland Garros. Federer will now face Robin Soderling in the French Open finals.

 

Federer was able to offset the powerful serve of Del Potro with consistent play as he had just one double-fault and committed 29 unforced errors compared to six double-faults and 40 unforced errors from the Argentine. Del Potro did hammer out 16 aces but had his serve broken five times.

 

Federer is sitting on 13 career Grand Slam singles titles, just one behind the record held by Pete Sampras. A win at Roland Garros would also mark a career Grand Slam for Federer as he has won Wimbledon five times, the U.S. Open five times and the Australian Open three times. Federer has reached the finals of the French Open the last three years only to fall to Rafael Nadal on each occasion.
