World number one Roger Federer moved closer to an elusive French Open title when he beat Romanian Victor Hanescu 6-2, 7-6, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals for the first time.
Top seed Federer, whose previous best result on the Paris clay was a quarter-final appearance in 2001, became the second active player behind Andre Agassi to have reached the last four at four consecutive Grand Slam events.
"I'm very satisfied with my game and my form so far. I feel I have plenty of energy left. I'm glad to be able to prove that I can do well in this tournament," said Federer, who is yet to drop a set.
