Federer who is gunning for his eight Wimbledon title defeated Simon Gilles 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 as he used his serve to his advantage. Federer had 11 aces and won 44 of the 55 points when he got his first serve in. Simon couldn’t match Federer 80 percent first serve success rate as he was only able to win 29 out of 48 points when he connected to Federer first serve. Federer who spoke with reporters after his game said “the road is long getting here but I still feel like I’m fresh and I have got energy left in the tank for hopefully a great match with Andy Murray and then we will see”.
As for Andy
Murray he had little difficulty in disposing Vasek Pospisil as he was able to
pull off a 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 win over the Canadian. Murray who frequently dominates
with his hard serves wasn’t able to gather much point against Vasek as he only
had four aces to his win. Murray had to regularly force the action on Pospisil
serves as he had eight break point opportunities and was able to convert three
of them which were good enough to win the match against Vasek who could only
manage just one break point opportunity and failed to convert it.
The match between Murray and Federer is the biggest match in the men’s Semi-final as the other match that is schedule for Friday is between world No.1 Novak Djokovic and Richard Gasquet. Djokovic booked his ticket into the semi finals by beating Croatian Marin Cilic with a straightforward destruction of 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Cilic had no answer to Djokovic razor-sharp serve as he won 46 out 0f 58 points on his first serve which was just accompanied with four aces.
Richard
Gaquest who was also able to defeat French Open Champion Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 4-6,
3-6, 6-4, 11-9 is now faced with the task of preventing Djokovic the chance of
defending his title if he can provide an upset in their semi final match on Friday.
