Federer reaches last four


World number one Roger Federer put down a Russian rebellion in the shape of journeyman Nikolay Davydenko here on Friday as a 7-5, 7-5 victory gave him a semifinal place in the Rotterdam Open.

But there was more misery for third seeded Briton Tim Henman who lost to Croatia's Mario Ancic 7-6, 7-6 in his quarterfinal. It was the second straight setback for Henman against Ancic who ran him out of Wimbledon in the quarterfinals last summer.
