Roger Federer face Novak Djokovic in the Semi final while Andy Murray face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Roger Federer beat Mikhail Youzhny 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 Federer earned a record 32nd Grand Slam semifinal berth and moved closer to a record-tying seventh Wimbledon title when he beat Mikhail Youzhny on Wednesday,will play each other in semi finals Federer has a 14-12 edge against Djokovic, who is ranked No. 1.They've met in Grand Slam semifinals five times in the past two years, with Djokovic winning four of those matches.

Novak Djokovic beat Florian Mayer 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 on Wednesday booked a Wimbledon semi-final showdown with Roger Federer as the defending champion.Djokovic recovered from a slow start to give a masterclass in the art of brutal baseline hitting and Mayer, the 31st seed, lacked the weapons to respond.World number one Djokovic can now turn his attention to a ninth consecutive Grand Slam semi-final appearance, a feat surpassed by only Federer, Rod Laver and Ivan Lendl.Djokovic's solitary defeat in his last 33 Grand Slam matches came against Rafael Nadal in last month's French Open final.And with Nadal back home in Mallorca after his shock exit, Djokovic, who has beaten six-time Wimbledon champion Federer in their last three meetings including the semi-finals of the US and French Opens, must fancy his chances of extending his Grand Slam dominance to four titles from the last five majors.Mayer admitted he had been completely out-classed by Djokovic after the first set.Under ominious grey skies, Djokovic made a hesitant opening on Court One as Mayer broke for a 3-2 lead, but the Serbian top seed sprung into life with a break of his own in the next game.After saving three break points following a 20-minute rain delay, Djokovic landed the crucial blow as he broke at 5-4 to take the first set.Mayer, who reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals eight years ago before fitness and motivation problems prompted him to take time out of the game, emulated his boyhood hero Boris Becker with some spectacular diving volleys as he tried to keep Djokovic at bay in the second set.But Djokovic -- bidding to become the first man since Federer in 2007 to retain the Wimbledon title -- was in the groove now and he unfurled a sublime crosscourt winner to break for a 3-1 lead before securing another break to take the second set.Djokovic had worn Mayer down and the 25-year-old produced a blizzard of winners to break for a 5-4 lead before serving out the win.

Andy Murray beat David Ferrer  6-7, 7-6, 6-4, The presence of royalty – that's tennis royalty Andre Agassi and his wife, Steffi Graf, though the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were also in the royal box – helped power Roger Federer into Wimbledon's semis. Or so the No 3 seed later claimed, expressing his delight that these "legends" were back in SW19.But such inspiration did not immediately rub off yesterday on Britain's No 1, Andy Murray, who faced his toughest test of the competition so far against the Spaniard David Ferrer, the seventh seed. Murray lost the first set on a tie-break, before rallying to win the second and third sets. The fourth was poised at five-all when a shower stopped play.As the anxiety ebbed and flowed on Centre Court, perhaps one man in the royal box was more conscious than most of the pressures Murray faced. Roy Hodgson, the England manager, knows a thing or two about quarter-final exits when a nation's expectations are high.Unlike Hodgson's England, however, Murray emerged after the rain to press home his advantage, winning the fourth set, and the match, on a tie-break. The game took just under four hours, the score Murray will now face the fifth seed, Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in the semi-finals.As rain yielded to hazy sunshine, middle Wednesday had begun at a brisk pace, with Federer swiftly dispatching Russian Mikhail Youzhny, seeded 26, in an hour and a half. The score was 6-1, 6-2, 6-2. The latter found himself so outclassed at one stage he turned to the royal box and jokingly asked Agassi, who won the title 20 years ago: "Can you tell me what I'm supposed to do out here?"There was a wealth of experience to draw on in that royal box, with Rod Laver, Mark Philippoussis and Pam Shriver among former players in attendance. One day, perhaps Federer will sit there too.The Swiss player, who next meets Novak Djokovic, the Serbian world No 1, said after his win: "I really actually do enjoy seeing legends coming out. Royals coming out – I think it's inspiring too, in some ways, believe it or not."He added: "I met Kate for the first time. William I've met again after Australia. They were very nice, very friendly, I was very happy to meet them. Yeah, had a bit of a chat. What exactly is not so important I don't think."It's just nice to see that the royal box is always full. They're not here just to drink champagne and tea in the back. They really do come for the tennis. That's probably one of the reasons why I play well on Centre Court."Minutes after Federer's victory, Murray strode on. Fans without Centre Court tickets had settled on the damp grass of Aorangi Terrace to watch the Scot – and were immediately struck with a familiar sinking feeling as he dropped the first set. Murray glowered as fans giggled at his grunts.It was not an auspicious start. The duke and duchess did their best to get behind Murray – then left as he fought for the fourth set.Despite his win, perhaps there were moments during the match when Murray reflected on life before the drama, tension, frustration and sheer agony of professional tennis took hold. He features in a new book to celebrate the Olympics, in which he will represent Great Britain, and which launched at Wimbledon yesterday. In it, he is pictured after lifting the under-12 Orange Bowl. His memory? "Tennis was a lot more fun in those days."

Jo-Wilfrie Tsonga beat Philipp Kohlschreiber  7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 in 2 ½ hours to set up the tantalising last-four confrontation with Murray.His first confrontation with the Scot on grass was staged as long ago as 2004, when Murray was just 17, at an indoor Challenger event in Nottingham. “We played indoors finally because of the good weather,” Tsonga said, drily. But the Murray supremacy has since been firmly established between the pair on this surface, first by a four-set triumph here at the All England Club in 2010 and then by a three-set victory in last year’s final at Queen’s, where Tsonga earned a match point.What unnerves Tsonga about the prospect of facing Murray is the sheer strength of the world No 4’s returning game. “Andy’s one of the guys I don’t like to play, because he’s returning really well and can make some great passing shots,” the 28 year-old said. “He’s quick, and all the time he’s on the ball, so it’s tough for me.”The pressure that Murray will endure Friday in front of a rapt and partisan Centre Court crowd is not lost on Tsonga. After all, he held an opportunity of his own to reach the last four of his home grand slam only last month, but squandered four match points against Novak Djokovic in their French Open quarter-final.“It’s difficult for Andy because he’s alone,” he said. “All the eyes are on him.”While the received wisdom holds that Murray has his clearest opening yet to move into a Wimbledon final, after the shock first-week exit of Rafael Nadal in his half of the draw, Tsonga knows how to exploit his deficiencies. That much was evident when this lethal server swatted him in four sets at the 2008 Australian Open en route to a first and, to date, solitary appearance in a grand slam final.Tsonga offered a powerful display yesterday to eclipse Kohlschreiber, sending down 17 aces and at one stage reaching 136mph with his serve. It was with an ace, aptly enough, that he claimed the opening tie-break after a tense first set lasting 47 minutes.His German opponent mustered an instant riposte in the second, stretching him with prolonged rallies and breaking him with a delightful forehand return in the second game.After wrapping up the set 6-4, Tsonga entered further characteristic baseline battles with Kohlschreiber in a cat-and-mouse third set. There were touches of flamboyance, too, not least when he executed a Boris Becker-style dive to try to parry a smash. He resorted to a more conventional bombardment of groundstrokes in the tie-breaker and profited from several forehand errors by his opponent to take it 7-3.The fourth proved more comfortable for Tsonga as his superiority over the 27th seed began to tell. Even the diving acrobatics were effective as he delicately angled one volley beyond the despairing Kohlschreiber. In the eighth game one luscious crosscourt volley was sufficient to ensure his progress.As he reflected upon the moment, Tsonga talked eloquently of second comings. He was deflated, after his rousing recovery to beat Roger Federer in five sets 12 months ago, not to have offered a better demonstration of his talents in the ensuing four-set defeat by Djokovic. But as he surveyed the view as a Wimbledon semi-finalist once more, he indicated his relish at what was to come. “Before I was not consistent enough in my head,” he said, acknowledging a flakiness in long matches that he has since erased by dispatching both Kohlschreiber and Mardy Fish in close contests this week.“Many times I lost concentration, but now I have turned my head, in the good sense. This is another chance for me.”

The 2ND Test Between Pakistan And Srilanka Has Been Draw

Pakistan Vs Srilanka 2ND Test Has Been Draw , But Srilanka Is In Advantage As They Lead The Series 1-0 In a 3 Match Test Series.With more than a day's worth of overs lost to rain, and a pitch that was a scourge of bowlers, the SSC Test ended in the inevitable and dreary draw it was destined to be - the fourth such result in the venue's last five matches. Only 20 wickets fell over the course of the Test - nine of them today - while 1128 runs were scored. The only vestigial hope of last-day drama lay in whether Pakistan's bowlers could end Sri Lanka's first innings early enough to enforce the follow-on. They did not, and that was that.Sri Lanka achieved their objective of consolidating their position in the Test by not losing a wicket in the first session, with Kumar Sangakkara and Angelo Mathews steadfast during an 89-run period that saved the follow-on. In the second they collapsed: Junaid Khan completed the second five-wicket haul of a budding career and Sangakkara missed a double-century for the second time in consecutive Tests.Having taken a 160-run lead in the first innings, Pakistan scored quickly in their second after lunch, at nearly six runs an over. They promoted left-arm spinner Abdur Rehman to No. 3, after the openers had added 51, with the license to swing. The move paid off and Pakistan's lead increased rapidly to 259 at tea, but they did not declare then. Misbah-ul-Haq declared eight balls after the break, an odd decision that gave Pakistan's bowlers 37 overs, instead of 40, to have a crack at Sri Lanka. The hosts were never in any danger during their final innings, though, and the captains agreed to call off the game as soon as they could. Sangakkara walked off unbeaten on 24, having done so much to preserve Sri Lanka's 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.The fifth day in Colombo was hot and sunny, with no sign of the clouds that helped ruin this Test, but very few people turned up to watch, as Sangakkara resumed on 144 and Mathews began his innings. They focussed on risk-free survival. Junaid, who had sparked some life into the Test with two quick wickets on the fourth evening, beat the bat on occasion but created no scares.Kumar Sangakkara missed out on scoring his ninth double-century. However, he is now fourth on the list of batsmen with the most 150-plus scores (16) in Tests.Sangakkara became only the second batsman after Mohammad Yousuf to be dismissed in the 190s on three different occasions. It is also the first time that two batsmen have been dismissed in the 190s in the same game.Sangakkara's average of 79.96 at the SSC is the highest among the batsmen who have scored 2000-plus runs at a venue.For the second time in two Tests and the fourth time since the start of 2011, four batsmen were dismissed for ducks in the Sri Lanka innings.This is the sixth time that Pakistan have had a five-for and a four-wicket haul (two four-plus wicket hauls) in the same innings against Sri Lanka. The last such occasion was in Kandy in 2006.For the second time in this series and the ninth time overall, a team innings featured two centuries and four ducks. Pakistan have been the bowling team on four of the nine occasions.Saeed Ajmal bowled 34 overs without a single maiden. This is the highest number of overs bowled by a Pakistan bowler in an innings without bowling a single maiden over.Pakistan declared in both their innings for the first time since the Karachi Test in 1993 against Zimbabwe. On that occasion, Pakistan went on to win by 131 runs. It is also the fewest overs faced by Pakistan in an innings (18 overs in the second innings) before declaring.Sangakkara went past 400 runs in a series for the fourth time in his career. His best is 516 runs against Pakistan in the UAE last year.Pakistan were not wayward with the ball, though. There was nothing happening for them, and when they tried to conjure something, the umpire Simon Taufel nipped it in the bud. Taufel noticed a fielder throwing the ball from a short distance on the bounce to the wicketkeeper, possibly hoping to scuff up one side, and told him not to do it. He had a word with the captain Misbah as well.Every now and then Mathews would break the spate of dot balls and singles with muscular shots. Sangakkara, on the other hand, simply nudged around for the first 18 overs, before finally unfurling a stylish cover drive against Aizaz Cheema. Another quiet period followed before Sangakkara stepped out to loft Ajmal over his head for six.Sangakkara ended the first session 13 short of his ninth double-century, Mathews four away from his ninth half-century, but Sri Lanka's dominance of this day was about to end.Junaid struck in his first over after the break, getting the ball to straighten on Mathews and inducing an edge to the wicketkeeper. He could have had another wicket next ball, but Taufel felt Prasanna Jayawardene had been struck marginally outside the line of off stump.On 192, Sangakkara was undone by a soft shot. He came down the track and whipped a tame delivery from Rehman straight to square leg. Having been stranded on 199 in Galle, Sangakkara threw his head up in anguish and stormed back to the dressing room. The ball was reversing now, and Junaid collected his fifth scalp with a yorker that crashed into the stumps after nicking the inside edge of Nuwan Kulasekara's bat.The end came quickly after that, with Rehman mopping up. Sri Lanka lost five wickets for 21 runs to finish on 391 and their scorecard made for bizarre viewing: apart from Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan, who made centuries, only Mathews and Rangana Herath got into double-figures.Pakistan's openers set off with purpose, and Rehman coming in to pinch-hit at Mohammad Hafeez's wicket seemed to signal a declaration was not far away. He played shots that belied his place in the tail, racing to 36 off 22 balls. Tea came and went, though, and Pakistan continued to bat. And when Misbah made his oddly-timed decision minutes after play had resumed in the final session, Mahela Jayawardene walked off the SSC looking bemused.Hoping for anything but a draw was akin to buying fool's gold, though, and Sri Lanka's openers batted out 12 of the possible 37 overs. Ajmal and Rehman picked up a wicket apiece, and there were hoarse appeals for lbw and catches around the bat at every opportunity, but the players agreed to end the game at the first opportunity.

Pakistan Score: 551 for 6 dec (Hafeez 196, Ali 157) and 100 for 2 dec

Srilanka Score: 391 (Sangakkara 192, Dilshan 121, Junaid 5-73, Rehman 4-78) and 86 for 2

Result:Draw
