Roger Federer defeats Gilles Simon in five sets to book a quarter-final clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

However, Federer began to get his game together when he really needed to, flashing 14 winners on his way to forcing a deciding set.

Simon put up a stubborn resistance, but he was powerless to stop the Swiss maestro from sealing his passage into the next round.
