TENNIS ROUNDUP Federer follows next gen trio into Brisbane semifinals Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 10, 2015 @ 12:01 am By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 10, 2015 @ 12:01 am » Social News BRISBANE, Australia — Roger Federer saw what a trio of next generation Grand Slam contenders had to offer Friday before putting on a show of his own, disposing of Australian wild card James Duckworth in 39 minutes to move into the Brisbane International semifinals. Top-seeded Federer dropped only six points in a 16-minute first set, and won 6-0, 6-1 without really breaking a sweat against No. 125-ranked Duckworth — a vast contrast to his rusty, three-set opening win over John Millman the previous night. "I had a great start to the match," Federer said. "I saved energy and stress and nerves. "Yesterday was quite nerve-wracking and physically difficult because it was first match of the season. So I'm very happy I got it done quickly today." The 17-time major winner will next meet No. 4-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, who advanced a 6-3, 6-4 winner over Martin Klizan of Slovakia. No. 2-seeded Kei Nishikori and No. 3 Milos Raonic will meet in the other semifinal after beating Australians. The top two players in the women's draw will meet in the final after No. 1-seeded Maria Sharapova beat Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-3, and No. 2 Ana Ivanovic had a 7-6 (2), 6-4 win over Varvara Lepchenko. Federer and Dimitrov are often compared due to their styles, particularly the single-handed backhand, and they're both anticipating a great semifinal. "I'm aware of the challenge," Federer said. "He's clearly expecting big things from himself this year, I would assume. In the nightcap, Sharapova wasted four match points in the eighth game of the second set before dropping serve, but converted her fifth match point in the next game to see off Svitolina. Ivanovic had some wobbles, too, after leading Lepchenko 5-1 in the second set and needing seven match points before she finally finished it off on her serve. Poland advanced to the Hopman Cup final in Perth by clinching a point against defending champion France, setting up a final against the United States. At the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a 2-hour, 35-minute match to set up a final against Venus Williams, who brushed past American compatriot Lauren Davis 6-0, 6-3. Williams also reached the final last year, losing in three sets to Ivanovic. QATAR OPEN: At Doha, Qatar, third-seeded Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic beat Andreas Seppi 6-2, 6-3 to set up a final against fourth-seeded David Ferrer of Spain. Ferrer defeated seventh-seeded Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) in a match that featured no service breaks earlier Friday.
