500th career victory for Federer.

Roger Federer has defeated David Ferrer by 6-4 6-0 today and shows himself into the semifinals of the Monte Carlo tournament. The milestone that really matters is that the match was the 500th victory in Roger Federer's career.

In his career so far, Roger Federer has a record of 500 wins and only 127 losses. More impressive are his numbers since he got to the number one rank of the ATP tour. Since the first time Federer has been ranked No1 for the first time at the beginning of 2004, he has won 264 times and lost only 17 matches. A 93.5% win percentage, simply impressive.

Back to the Monte Carlo tournament, a Master series event, Tomas Berdych has qualified himself to the semifinals also with a win in three sets over Robin Soderling by 5-7, 6-3, 6-0.
Rafael Nadal is currently facing Philipp Kohlschreiber from Germany, a qualified player. Should Nadal win the match, he will face Tomas Berdych in the tournament semifinals. The winner of quarterfinal No4 between Richard Gasquet and Juan Carlos Ferrero will face Roger Federer in the other semifinal match.
