ROGER FEDERER v NICOLAS KIEFER

6-3 5-7 6-0 6-2

Federer spoke about the match,

"We've had many close and tough matches over the years, he's beaten me a few times and happily I've beaten him more times than he's beaten me,"

"It was tough from the beginning [with the roof closed], I thought the conditions were way different than the other night I played against Davydenko and I had to really get used to it.  "In the end I really turned it up when I had to."

He hit 39 winners and had 33 unforced errors — 20 fewer than Kiefer, who was playing in the semis for the first time in 34 majors.
