Paris, Jun 4 (AP) Dusk was descending, wind was swirling and full-throated chants of "Ro-ger! Ro-ger!" from 15,000 or so fans finally were hushing as Roger Federer stepped to the baseline to serve one point from returning to the French Open final, and one point from ending Novak Djokovic's 43-match winning streak.
Federer rocked back, unfurled his body and whipped an ace, his 18th yesterday, to seal a 7-6 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5) victory over Djokovic, then roared and wagged his right index finger, as if telling the world, "I'm still No. 1!" So what if the official ranking say otherwise? This was Federer showing he's still got what it takes.
