Roger Federer ends Bernard Tomic's Australian Open dream Yet he kept on fighting. He broke back only to relinquish his own serve as Federer battled hard to maintain the momentum. If there was to be an unlikely comeback, Tomic had to get out of the blocks quickly in the third set but instead he was placed even further on the back foot as Federer broke for 1-0 and then again for 4-1. From there there was no way back as Federer moved through to a meeting with Juan Martin Del Potro, a 6-4 6-2 6-1 victor over Philipp Kohlschreiber. "I thought I played a really good match," said Federer. I knew I had to as anything else would not have got the job done tonight. I had to work extremely hard and Bernard showed why he is going to be a great player in the future.
