Federer and Djokovic into Swiss final

7:10 am on 7 November 2010

Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer have set up a re-run of the 2009 Swiss Indoors tennis final won by the Serb to end three consecutive years of trophy domination by the Basel hometown hero.

Top seed Federer again showed the ruthless form which carried him to overwhelming victories all week at the hall where he began his career as a ballboy, thumping longtime rival Andy Roddick 6-2 6-4 in the semi-finals.

Djokovic engineered a second straight escape against dangerous compatriot Viktor Troicki, the second seed managing a 7-6, 6-4 win.
