Speedy Gonzalez sets up showdown with Federer

FERNANDO GONZALEZ destroyed Tommy Haas to book his place in an Australian Open final clash with Roger Federer, and warned the world number one not to be complacent about beating him for a 10th time.

It took the Chilean number nine seed just 91 minutes to secure a 6-1 6-3 6-1 straight sets victory over Haas at Melbourne Park and set up a meeting with Federer, who enjoyed a one-sided semi-final win of his own against Andy Roddick.

The 26-year-old Gonzalez, beaten nine times by Federer including four defeats last year, is relishing his first grand slam final believing he is ready to give the Swiss master a tougher test.
