Roger thrives in Rogers Cup

ROGER Federer continued his longest winning streak in five years by reaching the Rogers Cup final.

The second-seeded used a 6-3, 7-6 (5) victory over unseeded Robin Haase of the Netherlands yesterday to reach his sixth final of the year and win his 16th consecutive match.

He had considered skipping the event, already without world No.1 Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka because of injuries.

But Federer can now add to a tally including the Australian Open.
