In another very convincing performance, Roger Federer won over nr.11 seed Jurgen Melzer 6-1, 7-6(4) in slightly more than 1 hour.
The Swiss hit a personal record in a a 2 sets match of 18 aces.
‘I thought I served well the whole match. I think in the second he was able play a bit more solid overall, and I think he served a bit better. Top guys rarely just go through two sets not having a sniff at all. His sniff was in the breaker when he hit two good returns to go 2-1 in a mini-break, really’.
Federer will play the French Gael Monfils in the Semifinal.
On the other side of the draw, Soderling defeated Roddick 7-5 6-4.
He will challenge Michael Llodra that had a surprised win over Davydenko (7-5 6-1)
