No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs No. 21 Richard Gasquet
In an obviously lopsided match, Djokovic and Gasquet will battle it out for a spot in the semi final. The Frenchman Gasquet grinded through a five-set win against world's No. 4 Stanislas Wawrinka in the quarterfinals. Wawrinka was one of the favorites to face Djokovic, what with the two just recently concluding a tough match at the French Open final, with Wawrinka emerging victorious.
"It will always be incredible players you face in semis," Gasquet said, as quoted by the Independent. "I want to reach that final. Novak is the favourite but I want to take my chance. We will see what will happen."
In the press conference hosted by Wimbledon, Djokovic spoke about Gasquet.
"Richard is in semifinals for a reason," Djokovic said. "I watched a little bit of that match [against Wawrinka]. I was playing during their match as well, so I couldn't see much. Last couple games, I saw him. It's a great effort from him to mentally stay tough because Stan, you know, is one of the toughest players on the tour. In decisive moments he goes for his shots. As I said, great effort from Richard. I'm sure it's going to be close match between us."
Gasquet enters the matchup as the obvious underdog, having lost to all matches between Djokovic and himself since 2007.
No. 2 Roger Federer vs No. 3 Andy Murray
Both Federer and Murray are killers on the grass court, with Federer and Murray likewise on a 10-match winning streak. The Wimbledon semi final between the two will decide whose record will first break.
Federer and Murray faced each other at the Wimbledon final of 2012, where Federer emerged victorious, beating Murray in his first Wimbledon final. Murray then bounced back the follow Olympics, beating Federer and winning gold for the English on Center Court.
The two tennis giants arrived at this year's Wimbledon determined to bring home the title. Federer looks to add to his 17 titles and seven Wimbledon championships. For Murray, it will be a chance to prove his talents after having back surgery.
Murray told the press in the media conference organized by Wimbledon: "I feel like I'm playing better tennis than I was then, but I don't think those matches that we played here in the past will have too much bearing on the outcome on Friday."
