Still a long road for Roger

Roger Federer is playing great tennis thus far at Roland Garros, however I am totally baffled as to why, after his 4 set victory over Fernando Gonzalez , headlines read "Federer just two wins away from career Grand Slam!"......making his run in Paris out to be a major event in tennis. Roger made the finals in 2007, and has been in the finals numerous times before that, losing to Rafael Nadal on each occasion, so why the "hoopla" about Fed beating Gonzo in 4 sets to advance to the semis?  Personally, I feel that Roger is looking nearly as solid as he did last year on the clay, and could give Rafa a run for his money in the title round, but let's be honest, there's nothing to get excited about for "Camp Federer" until he's up 2 sets and a break on Nadal/Djokovic in the finals. Rafa is hands down, playing the best tennis in the tournament, and there's absolutely no reason to believe that Federer will upset the Spaniard in the finals, hence, why the headlines: 'Federer two wins away?"....it should actually read: "Federer one win and a Marathon against Rafa Away" Needless to say, it's exciting to see Fed, Rafa, Novak [and Monfils] all playing solid tennis this far into the event, it's great for the fans, the game and the ATP Tour!
