World No. 1 Roger Federer has made a mis-match of his Australian Open semi-final against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, crushing the Frenchman in less than 90 minutes at Rod Laver Arena on Friday night.
The top seed produced some of his finest tennis as he outclassed Tsonga, winning 6-2 6-3 6-2 to book his place in Sunday’s final against Andy Murray.
With only 13 unforced errors in the match, Federer’s win avenged a defeat at the hands of Tsonga in Montreal last year, and advanced him into his record-breaking 22nd Grand Slam final.
Weary from two consecutive five-set encounters, Tsonga was again no match for Federer in the third set, as the Swiss again took control early with a service break in the third game. A member of the crowd humorously summed up the feeling in the stadium when he yelled, “Give him a chance, Roger!”
The world No. 1 was clearly in no mood to do so, and continued his barrage of quality winners – 33 in total - as he broke Tsonga for a second time in the set, eventually closing out the match with a 6-2 scoreline in the third.
The top seed now meets fifth seed Murray in Sunday’s final, after the Scot defeated Croatia’s Marin Cilic in four sets on Thursday night.
