Skooter reporting 07/06/12

It is his dream to become the first Briton to reach a Wimbledon singles final for 74 years, Andy Murray takes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Friday. The record show that the last British man to reach the Wimbledon final was Bunny Austin in 1938, two years after Fred Perry’s famous win.

Murray will challenge his fourth straight semi-final after fighting from a set and a break down against David Ferrer.

Novak Djokovic, the defending champion will play six-time winner Roger Federer in the first semi-final at 13:00 BST. This is the first meeting for the 25-year-old world number one on grass against the 16-time Grand Slam champion, Federer. So, Djokovic should be at his best.

The 30-year-old Federer is targeting for his eighth Wimbledon final, but this is his first since he defeated Andy Roddick in 2009, the longest men's singles final in terms of games played.
