That sets up a clash against Xavier Malisse on Monday. Full men's drawsheet - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-3 7-6(6) 6-1 - GAME, SET & MATCH - Federer wraps things up with a hold to love with an off-forehand across court that Benneteau can only return in to the net! - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-3 7-6(6) 5-1 - BREAK - Another quick massage later and Benneteau can still not hold on to his serve as Federer works him around the court and fires a forehand winner to secure the double break and also leave him serving for the match - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-3 7-6(6) 4-1 - Federer races through a service hold to consolidate the break and Benneteau looks exhausted now - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-3 7-6(6) 3-1 - BREAK - Benneteau has the trainer out on court during the change of ends for what Barry Davies describes as "total upper leg massage" before coming out and dropping his serve when Federer moves him around the court with ease - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-3 7-6(6) 2-1 - Federer holds to 30 despite a double fault and a forehand into the net. He sneaks ahead again in this fifth set - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-3 7-6(6) 1-1 - There are some worried looks around as Benneteau seems to be having trouble with his knee and calls for the trainer for the next change of ends. He holds on from 30-30 though with an ace and then a forehand winner before doing a bit of stretching and bouncing around, just to let Federer know he's not done just yet - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-2 7-6(6) 1-0 - Federer needs two attempts to put away a smash winner but does manage it at the second attempt and holds to open the fifth set - - Commentators telling us that Benneteau has won his last four five-set matches. Yes, but Roger Federer was not on the other side of the net on any of those occasions so it doesn't really count on today's clash! - - FEDERER 4-6 6-7(3) 6-2 7-6(6) - SET - It's two sets all! The crowd thinks Federer has sealed the set with an ace but the ball was clearly wide and he has to go again. But he does get it behind his second serve as Benneteau sends a forehand into the net. This is going to a decisive fifth set
