A gale force in the shape of Roger Federer blew aside local favourite Gael Monfils 6-4 6-3 7-6 on a blustery Tuesday at the French Open as the Swiss set up a mouth-watering French Open semi-final with Novak Djokovic.
The world number three, who has yet to drop a set at Roland Garros this year, was the only one to breeze through as women's holder Francesca Schiavone and men's hopeful Andy Murray clawed their way back from the brink to progress.
