PARIS: Novak Djokovic moved one step closer to winning a forth consecutive Grand Slam by defeating Roger Federer in straight sets 6-4, 7-5, 6-3.
By wining the French Open, Djokovic would be the first man in 43 years to have won four straight majors.
Although Federer started well, striking the balls crisply and breaking Djokovic for an early lead, the Serb found his game and broke back immediately and eventually took the first set 6-4.
The second set was a story of service breaks. Federer started the set strong going up two breaks but was unable to hold on to the lead as Djokovic climbed his way back by attacking Federer’s serve and winning the set 7-5.
Two sets up and with the wind out of Federer’s sails, Djokovic coasted through the third set, sealing victory with a service winner.
The win sets up a blockbuster Final with Rafael Nadal, who is also looking to make history by winning a record seventh French Open title.
