And it came quickly. The 17-time Grand Slam champion lost Tuesday in the quarterfinals to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3. Federer was eliminated before the semifinals for the second time in past three Grand Slam tournaments, but only the fifth time in the past nine years at a major event. Tsonga was responsible for two of the losses — he also beat Federer in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2011. ''I'm pretty sad about the match and the way I played,'' Federer said. ''He was in all areas better than me today. That's why the result was pretty clean.'' Serena Williams narrowly averted Federer's fate. She came from behind in the third set and advanced to the French Open semifinals for the first time since 2003 when she defeated Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Williams had been beaten the last four times she reached the Roland Garros quarterfinals, most recently in 2010. The 15-time Grand Slam champion, who is ranked No. 1, won her only French Open title in 2002. ''I just got tired of losing in the quarters,'' she said. ''I was so determined to get AP photo Serena Williams, of the U.S, reaches for the ball as she plays Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova during their quarterfinal match of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium Tuesday in Paris. through that, and I really, really, really, really wanted it more than I think anyone. So I think that kind of helped.'' Tsonga earned his first berth in the Roland Garros semifinals and is trying to become the first Frenchman to win the tournament since Yannick Noah in 1983. He's the first Frenchman to reach the semifinals since Gael Monfils in 2008. ''I can't have better a dream,'' Tsonga told the center court crowd. ''So far I play very well. I played against a champion today, a guy who has won everything. Today it's my turn.'' On Friday he'll play No. 4-seeded David Ferrer, who beat fellow Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6-2, 6-1, 6-1. Tsonga was runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the 2008 Australian Open, his best Grand Slam result. Ranked No. 8, he dominated Federer with his blend of power and athleticism. ''Give some credit to the old Jo-Willy Tsonga, please,'' Federer said. Federer took a 4-2 lead but played like a mere mortal after that as the match rapidly slipped away. He blew three overheads, missed several easy volleys, hit no aces, dropped serve six times and took a shot to the body on the point that put Tsonga ahead to stay in the final set. Facing a break point, Federer sliced a drop shot, and Tsonga raced forward to See OPEN, page 2B STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS | Kings 3, Blackhawks 1 Los Angeles stays hot on home ice, beats Chicago 3-1 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Slava Voynov had a goal and an assist, Jonathan Quick made 19 saves, and the Los Angeles Kings beat Chicago 3-1 in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Tuesday night, trimming the Blackhawks' series lead to 2-1.
