Federer advances to Australian Open final

Roger Federer is through to his 22nd Grand Slam final after defeating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 in a near-flawless display today at the Australian Open.



Federer, seeking his fourth Australian title, hopes to reverse his tear-filled exit from last year\'s final when he was beaten by Rafael Nadal, the left-handed Spaniard\'s first hard-court title.



This time, the man between Federer and another title on Sunday will be Andy Murray, whose motivation has been fueled by a 74-year drought for British men in Grand Slam singles.



Earlier today, Serena and Venus Williams won their fourth Australian Open doubles title, beating Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-4, 6-3.



Serena will now turn her attention to the singles final with Justine Henin tomorrow.
