Andy Murray in the Finals of Wimbledon will face Federer in the Final

Andy Murray beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 Andy Murray ended Britain's 74-year wait for a male Wimbledon finalist on Friday as the world number four clinched semifinal victory over French fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.Murray's triumph consigned a miserable run of 11 semifinal failures by British men to the history books and emulated the achievement of Bunny Austin, the last home challenger to reach the Wimbledon men's final back in 1938.The 25-year-old had lost at the semifinal stage for the last three years, joining Tim Henman,Roger Taylor and Mike Sangster on the list of British near-misses at the All England Club.But decades of anguish faded from view in front of a jubilant Centre Court crowd as Murray booked a showdown with six-time champion Roger Federer in Sunday's final.While Murray's victory has put one ghost to rest, the Scot won't be truly satisfied until he has become the first British man to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.Murray's meeting with Federer will be the Scot's fourth attempt to win a Grand Slam final following defeats at the Australian Open in 2010 and 2011 and the 2008 US Open.

Roger Federer in the Finals of Wimbledon

Roger Federer beat Novak Djokovic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 Roger Federer is one win away from a seventh Wimbledon title after booking his place in a record eighth final by dethroning reigning champion Novak Djokovic.The Swiss, who has 16 grand slam titles in all, was at his very best against a strangely subdued Djokovic under the Centre Court roof.He forced the Serbian to commit 24 of the type of careless errors that have been absent on a stunning run of form that had seen him win four of the last six majors - Federer three times his victim at the semi-final stage - and wrapped up success in two hours and 19 minutes.Federer will no doubt take extra satisfaction from the win too. Despite his standing as the game's greatest modern-era player, he has been forced to take a back seat to the rivalry between Djokovic and Rafael Nadal over recent years.That has partly been down to what, by his standards, has been a drought - he last reached the Wimbledon final in 2009 and has not won a grand slam for two and a half years - but also owing to Djokovic's emergence as the game's kingpin.That balance has been redressed for now, though, with Federer now lying in wait for either Andy Murray or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and knowing he will replace Djokovic as world number one with a win on Sunday.

Sarena Willams and Radwanska in semi Finals

Sarena Williams beat Radwanska 6-3, 7-6 at the end of a game more tense than the score says. To get rid of Belarus, in fact, Serena is forced to rely on his tremendous service. At the end will be 24 aces: new record of femaleAnd 'the last point of a hard fought tie-break. The Azarenka has just given his first error free by pulling on the net a backhand. The score says 6-3, 6-6 and 7 points to 6 in the tie-break in favor of Williams.The meter in "aces" quote marks 23: record equaled. Serena Williams takes a breath, go to the service, and find the intersection of the lines. New record. New Final. New return of a player who when he has no physical problems remains the player to beat. He's probably the whole key here of a lot more hard-fought than the score and say that rewards Serena Williams with her seventh Wimbledon final. Yes because the service, in a match between two very powerful and very good players from the bottom risponditrici, could not and could not but be the discriminant of the match. It is no coincidence then that the first set, Williams finished with the score at 6-3, has come thanks to Serena able to place up to three 4-3 games "to zero". It is no coincidence that Azarenka, however, unable to keep the percentages dell'avversaria, had to capitulate in trade whenever the Williams might attack his second. It is not even one case (pardon the redundancy), which in the second set, when Belarus was able to field the first service in 70% of cases, there has been a very balanced game and played to the wire . The fact Williams was able to escape even further in the opening seconds, but at first slight decline physiologically, was hung up by a Azarenka which is really the honors of war. Yes, because to close in two sets, Serena Williams, had to show off her best tennis and all the concentration - and the attitude in the play's highlights - the case.Emblematic, then the tie-break which we have already recounted. Saturday in the final against Agnieska Radwanska, Serena will have the opportunity to match the titles won by her sister Venus at Wimbledon - five - and demonstrate once again the lack of credibility of a computer, in any case, Monday morning the number 4 will WTA ranking. Series: "The software also wrong."
Agnieszka Radwanska beat Angelique Kerber in straight sets "easy easy": 6-3, 6-4 final score in one hour and ten minutes. For the seeded number 3 of the tournament is the first final in a Grand Slam tournamentAnd after so many good places, here is the first final. Agnieszka Radwanska and makes no prediction as to exceed the German Kerber flying for the first time in his career in the final of a slam. Yet the Polish, seeded No. 3 in the tournament, was not playing very well.Indeed. Probably blocked by the pressure for the great appointment, Radwanska, down slightly contracted in the field and makes the search for solutions impallare winning Kerber. The German, less fearful, then climb up to the first set 3-1 but from there, something that makes us "click" in the head of the Polish. Yes, because the next game to get good starts Radwanska in the exchange, to control it from the bottom and, aided by a continuous search Kerber of the blow out win for the exchange but too often foul, falls in the set at 3-3 controbreak finding. At that point is to lose belief Kerber and to tilt with the first service and the Polish, refreshed, took the opportunity to pull back to the beat seeded number eight in the tournament and put a partial 5 games to zero the 6-3 and is worth a pretty good psychological blow. Despite this, Kerber, at least in the opening of the second set, try again to make the race at the first service of finding and saving themselves up to 2-2, but there the Radwanska can again raise the bar and catch a game all'avversaria advantage. And even in the game as fought - the sixth - the Kerber manages to drag himself to the benefits of the service Radwanska but most of the defensive girl from Krakow at the end rewards the rewards that it retains the advantage of the break and then quit for 6 - 4 in an hour and ten minutes. By all accounts, this was the semi-final draw of the less noble female Wilmbledon ... but attention to the numbers. Agnieska Radwanska, this year, has a comforting 3 of 3 in the final appearances, and, more generally, a 10 out of 12 in all the "past acts" played in his career. In short, when a player that has not seemed to lose his head. Serena and Vika are advised.
