With the favourites falling by the wayside, Roger Federer (Switzerland) is one of the top seeds left to battle it out for the 2014 Rogers Cup title in Toronto, Canada. Opposite him in the championship round is 13th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (France), who delivered three consecutive upset victories in the quarterfinals and semifinals for the right to take on the former world number one.

Courtesy of excellent play from the Tsonga, top seed Novak Djokovic (Serbia) was booted out in the Round of 16 (6-2, 6-2) and eighth seed Andy Murray (Great Britain) was eliminated in the quarterfinals (7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-4) The Frenchman then took care of rising star in Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the semifinals (6-4, 6-3)

Meanwhile, Federer played true to form as the second seed beating the likes of fifth seed David Ferrer (Spain), 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the quarters and Feliciano Lopez (Spain), 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals.
