Playing indoors, world number three Federer and Australian Open champion Wawrinka can clinch a 3-0 series victory in Saturday's doubles, which would send Switzerland into their first Davis Cup final in 22 years.
Italy defeated Great Britain in April's quarter-final in Naples.
"It was quite frustrating at times," said Federer. "But I am happy overall, it was important to get that point."
At the French Open venue Roland Garros, it took Gasquet two hours and eight minutes to beat Berdych 6-3 6-2 6-3 in the first semi-final singles match on Friday.
Tsonga then despatched Rosol 6-2 6-2 6-3 in just over one hour and a half to put France one win away from a place in the final.
"This was one of my best wins ever,'' said Gasquet. ''The atmosphere was great, this is the Davis Cup, at Roland Garros, and I beat a top player.''
