Roger Federer dropped his first sets at this year's Australian Open - but it did not stop him from muscling his way into a semi-final meeting with Andy Murray.
The Swiss was handed his first significant test of the tournament against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga but came through 7-6 (7/4) 4-6 7-6 (7/4) 3-6 6-3.
He will now meet Murray, who continued his untroubled route through the draw with a straightforward win over Jeremy Chardy, in a repeat of last year's Wimbledon and Olympic finals.
