Calling Federer's performance yesterday as average or ordinary would be an understatement. He was poor IMHO. Blew hot and cold throughout the match.

Semifinals action…
Venus Williams beats Serena Williams 6-7, 6-2, 6-3.
Agnieszka Radwańska beats Ekaterina Makarova 7-6, 7-6.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga overwhelms Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-3.
It will be Federer against Tsonga in tomorrow's finals. Tonight was easy-going for Roger!
Sania Mirza & Cara Black will meet Sara Errani & Roberta Vinci in tomorrow's Rogers Cup Women's Doubles Finals.
Tsonga should be the favourite to win but (a) he is inconsistent and (b) he is a bit of a Federer fan (I think) and seems to revere him too much. Many of their matches have been close and this one should not be different. Or if Fed has a bad day again, it might be a straight set romp for Tsonga. I feel the chances of the reverse happening are less.
Fed is 2/6 in Finals this year...........This match seems to be definitely in Tsonga's racquet!!
Jo-Wilfried denies Roger the Rogers Cup! Wins 7-5, 7-6.
Fed yet again failed in important moments...
Tsonga deserves a lot of credit too. He was ranked World #15, but defeated Djokovic (#1), Federer (#3), Dimitrov (#8) and Murray (#9) in this tournament. How often does that happen?
Tsonga's the man...Well done..Didint need to do anything spectacular with Federer handing the match to him on a silver platter....But still a win's a win...:clap:
Poor poor display from Federer. Couldnt get anything out of the backhand. Tried to balance it with some forehand play, overbalanced himself on the forehand causing him to shank those too. Dont know if the scheduling had a say on his performance. Had his first day match today. That could have had an effect on him finding it hard to cope with the pace of the court. But that's no excuse for a man of such experience. Lost his 5th final out of the seven he played this year.
