Swiss superstar Roger Federer turned in a precision performance Saturday at the ATP Montreal [Rogers Cup] tennis to defeat unseeded Robin Haase for a spot in the final.


Federer, 36, blasted nine aces and lost just nine points on his serve as he extended his match win streak to 16 — his longest win streak in five years. He raised his game to another level, beating Netherlands Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (7/5) in just 75 minutes. "I'm very excited to be back in the finals. I'm a bit surprised because I hadn't practiced much," Federer said.


Federer has taken more time off this year than usual. He skipped the clay-court season from April to mid-June. "I came from vacation, did some fitness. I saw how I was feeling and said, 'you know what, I practiced so much the last year, let's go play some matches'," Federer added.
