Federer wins semi-final

Roger Federer kept his hopes of landing a first French Open title alive with a dramatic five-set win over fifth seed Juan Martin del Porto in the semi-final today.



The Swiss was outplayed for much of the first three sets but fought back to win 3-6, 7-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-4.



Federer\'s opponent Sunday will be Number 23-seeded Robin Soderling of Sweden, who extended his improbable Roland Garros run by beating Number 12 Fernando Gonzalez in another seesaw semifinal, 6-3, 7-5, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4.
