World No. 1 men's tennis player Roger Federer of Switzerland has reached the semifinals of the Thailand Open men's tennis tournament, but American Robby Ginepri is out of the event.
Federer, the top seed, scored a straight-set win over Gilles Muller of Luxembourg (6-4, 6-3). In the semifinals, the Swiss player faces Finland's Jarkko Nieminen, a three-set winner over Yeu-Tzuoo Wang of Taiwan (6-4, 6-7, 6-4).
The other semifinal has Britain's Andy Murray taking on hometown hero Paradorn Srichaphan of Thailand. Murray ousted third-seeded American Ginepri (4-6, 6-4, 6-3). Srichaphan advanced when his opponent, second seed Lleyton Hewitt of Australia, withdrew with a groin injury.
