Overview

Federer was made to work hard for his victory in the third round by Dmitry Tursunov on Friday. The World no 4 conceded a set for the first time in this year's French Open but eventually came on top in a long battle lasting over three hours.

After winning the first set, 7-5, in tiebreaker, the 17-time Grand Slam winner received a strong response in from the Russian who handed him a 6-7 (9-7) reversal. The Swiss maestro bounced back stronger in the subsequent sets to win, 6-2, 6-4; thus securing his place in the pre-quarterfinals.

Gulbis on the other hand had little trouble against Radek Stepanek in his round three clash as the Latvian triumphed in straight sets in just under two hours. The 25-year-old Latvian sent his Czech Republic counterpart packing from the competition with the score, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.

The winner of this clash will battle for a place in the semi-final against the winner between 10<sup>th seed, John Isner and sixth seed, Tomas Berdych.

Head-To-Head

Federer holds a 2-1 lead over Gulbis in overall meetings. The pair have never faced each other in a Grand Slam event.

What They Say

Roger Federer: "Clearly he [Gulbis] has to be confident after winning a tournament last week and now backing it up again here this week and cruising through, really. I'm aware of the challenge ahead of me, and difficult match I think because I have had some tough matches with him in the past."

Ernests Gulbis: "I'm not scared of the match. I have played him three times and I beat him once. I'm really confident. I can tell you that (being overwhelmed) is not going to be the case with me. I have a game plan."
