Roger Federer is now one more match away from his first French open title and from tieing with Sampras' 14 Grand Slam record. Today he battled against the tall and powerful Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina and won in a five-setter. Federer advanced to his fourth consecutive Roland Garros final with a score of 36 76(2) 26 61 64 and will now face "The Cinderella Man", Robin Soderling of Sweden who is looking to be the first Swedish winner of Roland Garros since Mats Wilander took the title in 1988. Soderling also endured a five set test over Fernando Gonzalez but was able to come through with a score of 63 75 57 46 64 to play in his first clay court final. Federer admits it's not going to be easy, since Soderling is in the shape of his life.
