Wimbledon Semifinals Preview: Roger Federer vs Andy Murray

It's blockbuster Friday at Wimbledon as Roger Federer faces UK pride Andy Murray for a place in the finals of the oldest tournament in the world. Federer only needed an hour and a half to edge France's Giles Simon in straight sets while Murray ended the run of Canadian hopeful Vasek Pospisil to score a slot in the semis.

Wimbledon Preview: Andy Murray versus Ivo Karlovic

It's the second most anticipated match on Centre Court, next to the battle of the Williams sisters. It may be less dramatic - no familial ties, no "grand slam" goals - but if you're up against the tallest and oldest player in the tournament, expect bombs to explode on the service line. This is Andy Murray's fate as he starts his second week at Wimbledon. He will be facing Ivo Karlovic, the 6"11 Croatian who wears a size 16 shoe and is known to drop nuclears on the T.

Tough Wimbledon Draw For Andy Murray

What are the odds of Andy Murray winning Wimbledon again? The answer may come from his spot in the draw that currently has him up against big names like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych. All are in the bottom half with Murray possibly facing Tsonga in the 4th round, Nadal in the quarterfinals and Federer in the semis. If all goes well for the Scot who is aiming for his 2nd Wimbledon crown, he may also face world no. 1 Novak Djokovic in the finals.
