Roger Federer breezed past Feliciano Lopez 6-3 6-4 to reach his fifth career Canadian final at the Toronto Masters.

The Swiss second seed and two-time champion will take on Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga after he rolled rising star Grigor Dimitrov 6-4 6-3.

Tsonga, seeded 13th and loser to Federer in two previous finals, will be playing his first final in Canada, while Federer moved into his 120th career final.

Federer stayed in total control from the opening point against Lopez, who was treated in the second set for an apparent neck problem.

The 32-year-old Spaniard has now lost all 11 of his matches with Federer, who will be looking for an 80th career trophy when he plays Tsonga.

“I’m happy to be playing in such good form,” said Federer, who turned 33 on Friday and lost just four points in serve in the first set.

“The key to the match was always the big serve. I had to focus on my own and then try to create chances. I started well from the get-go.

“I could tell Feliciano was tired, he’s played a lot of tennis this week. The second set was maybe not of the highest quality, but I was seeing the ball very well.

“The final will be exciting, Jo has been playing well. I know what’s ahead of me, I have my work cut out if I want to win the trophy.”

Federer improved his 2014 record to 44 wins and eight defeats as he bids for a third title of the season after Dubai and Halle. He is only a month removed from the Wimbledon final.

29-year-old Tsonga will face off for his second Masters 1000 shield on Sunday. He claimed a Masters win at Paris Bercy in 2008, but lost in Paris and London in two other finals to Federer.

“I’m feeling good, I’ve been waiting for this moment since a couple of years now. I’ve always believed in myself during all these years, and all those weeks where I was losing,” he said.

“Finally I get a little reward (with the victory), it’s good for me. It will for sure make me stronger, keep my motivation at the highest level.”
