    Roger Federer advanced to the Rogers Cup final Saturday night, beating Spain's Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-4 to set up a match against upset-happy Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

    The second-ranked Federer is seeking his third title of the year. He has 79 career titles and is a 17-time Grand Slam champion.

    "I think I served well, I was aggressive and I was able to really play the way I wanted to play tonight," said Federer, who was forced to three sets in his previous two matches. "I'm very happy."

    Tsonga beat his third straight higher-seeded opponent, topping seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-4, 6-3. The 13th-seeded Frenchman beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic on Thursday and eighth-seeded Andy Murray on Friday.
