Federer beats injured Djokovic to reach final

MONACO (AP) — Roger Federer ousted defending Monte Carlo Masters champion Novak Djokovic 7-5, 6-2 Saturday, and the second-ranked Serb said he plans to take a break to let his injured wrist heal. Federer will try to win the event for the first time in an all-Swiss final against Stanislas Wawrinka, who defeated David Ferrer of Spain 6-1, 7-6 (3). Federer's touch was inconsistent in his quarterfinal win against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but he was sharp against Djokovic. Djokovic's first-serve speed dropped to 100 mph in the second set, and he had difficulty flexing his arm as he tried to return one Federer shot in the third game. Federer secured successive breaks to take control. The fourth-ranked Federer raised both hands in the air after winning on his first match point, and Djokovic walked off looking despondent.
