Wawrinka, Ivanovic through to semis

ROGER Federer was knocked out of the French Open at the quarterfinal stage yesterday, falling in three sets to fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka, the eighth seed, 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7/4).

Federer, the second seed and 2009 champion at Roland Garros, had only ever lost twice in 18 previous meetings with his compatriot, but was well beaten on a windy Court Suzanne Lenglen.
