 PARIS (AP) - Roger Federer watched one more shot by one more opponent miss its mark, then released a guttural yell and shook his fist, a tad relieved to have won when he was close to his worst.
His three-hour struggle of a French Open semifinal was over Friday, and Federer knew at that moment he was again one more victory from the only major championship to elude him, one more victory from a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title.
Next up are the match and the opponent that matter most: a French Open final against his nemesis, two-time defending champion Rafael Nadal.
