Roger survives a scare

Maria, Serena in last eight

AFP, Paris
Roger Federer avoided joining Rafael Nadal on the Roland Garros scrapheap when he battled back to defeat Germany's Tommy Haas6-7(4/7),5-7,6-4,6-0, 6-2 to reach the French Open quarter-finals on Monday.
The second seed, still needing a French Open to become only the sixth man to complete a career Grand Slam, will now face either American sixth seed Andy Roddick or Gael Monfils, the llth-seeded Frenchman, for a place in the semi-finals.
It was Federer's fifth career recovery from a two-set deficit and he did it for the second Grand Slam in succession, after the Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych had been 2-0 ahead in their Australian Open fourth-round tie.
But having seen four-time champion Nadal, the man who has beaten him in the last three finals, sensationally suffer his first defeat in Paris on Sunday, Federer came dangerously
close to seeing his lifetime dream also evaporate.
At two sets to the good, 31-year-old Haas had a break point in the eighth game of the third set which, had he seized it, would have given him the chance to serve for the match.
But Federer, who hasn't failed to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final since his third-round loss to Gustavo Kuerten here in 2004, saved it with an inside-out forehand and the German began to wilt with the Swiss reeling off 14 of the last 16 games.
Federer admitted his opponent's failure to convert that break point at 4-3 in the third set wascrucial.
"I thought that shot I made was probably the first good shot I had had hit the whole match, said Federer, the holder of 13 Grand Slam titles.
"I knew the significance of it and I realised that if I came out of it I would look back on that shot as the one that saved me. It was a great feeling because I was in some trouble there."
Haas agreed that the break point chance was crucial. "It was very close. It goes through your head that you could have served for the match. I wanted to play a good return, not too deep, but he hit the winner,” said the German former world number two.
"You have to tip your hat to him. He went for it. It was too good and he got his reward."
American second seed Serena Williams set up a French Open quarter-final meeting with Russia's seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova after blazing through her fourth-round match here on Monday.
Williams, the 2002 champion, took just 53 minutes to see off Canadian 24th seed Aleksandra Wozniak 6-1, 6-2, while Kuznetsova triumphed 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 against Polish number 12 seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
Maria Sharapova of Russia reached the quarter-finals of the French Open on Sunday with a 6-4, 0-6, 6-4 win over Li Na of China.
She will play Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia for a place in the semi- finals.
Later Monday, Serbian fifth seed Jelena Jankovic was due to take on unseeded Romanian teenager Sorana Cirstea, with France's Virginie Razzano set to face Australian number 30 seed Samantha Stosur.
