Roger Federer survives Gael Monfils in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI: Second-seeded and a five-time champion Roger Federer avoided an upset against Frenchman Gael Monfils holding off for a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win at the Cincinnati Masters on Thursday.

He booked a tough quarterfinal against eighth-seeded Scot Andy Murray, who battled more than two hours against the huge serve of John Isner, finally dispatching the American 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 7-6 (7/2).

Federer had a rare show of temper late in the match, arguing with the chair umpire over a decision not to call on electronic line-calling on a particular point.

But Federer quickly recovered his poise, clinching the match with a service winner after breaking Monfils in the penultimate game.

"I'm just happy the way I'm playing right now," Federer said. "It was much better than the last couple of matches.

"I was hitting good forehands, not making so many mistakes, returning better," he added. "So there was a lot of positives out in the match. Sometimes frustration, but sometimes that's what Gael does to you."
