Federer two matches from career slam...

It's only gonna get tougher from here but Roger Federer is in the semifinals of the French Open for the third straight year and is my pick to win the only grand slam title to alude him. A title in Paris would be a crowning achievement for the four-time Wimbledon champ who also has three U.S Open and Australian Open crowns. On Tuesday, Federer beat Spain's Tommy Robredo, in a quarterfinal match 7-5, 1-6, 6-1, 6-2. It was the first set he has lost in the tournament. Up next for Federer is foiurth seed Nikolay Davydenko who beat Guillermo Canas 7-5, 6-4, 6-4. You gotta figure that's a break for Roger who has lost to Canas twice this year.
I know I'M relieved! Federer is 8-0 against Davydenko, including a semifinal win at the U.S. Open last year.
