MENS SEMI-FINALS -

Andy Murray Vs Andy Roddick  & Roger Federer Vs Tommy Haas

If the match is played under the roof it would probably help Murray as the slower indoor conditions would take some of the pace off Roddicks serve.  While Murrays serve does not have the speed of Roddicks, it has so far this Wimbledon been a weapon on his run into the semi-final. Murray is arguably the best returner on the mens tour but Roddick has twice been in the final losing in 2004-2005 to Roger Federer so he definitely has more experience.  Murray has more all-round variety on court than the American so hopefully the Centre Court crowd will pull him through!

Federer remains in pursuit of that record 15th Grand Slam title, and his performances so far this year have suggested that onlyan outstanding Scottish player, perhaps can stop him !!

Good luck also to Jamie Murray in the Semi-Finals of the Mixed.

Day 3 saw  Giseko Dulko overcome her Centre court nerves to beat Sharapova in 3 sets, meanwhile Federer breezed past Spains Guillermo Garcia Lopez in straight sets with another “near perfect” performance.

DAY 4 - First up  on Centre court today is Lleyton Hewitt playing the 6ft 6 Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro, should be a great match with Hewitt showing signs of the form that won him many titles.  British fans will have to wait a little longer as Murray strives to keep Bristish hopes alive when he steps out third on Centre Court against a tough opponent Ernest Gulbis who he only just managed to beat 6-4 in the third set at Queens last year.  The press havemade quite a story claiming that Gulbis accused Murray of faking a wrist injury at 4-4 in the third at Queens and then proceeding to take the next two games and the match!  Murray will definitely have to step it up a gear as Gulbis is a tough opponent!  Also later the last British girl Baltacha is playing on Court 4 against Kirsten Flipkons. 

The Court One crowd will see Venus Williams up first against Kateryna Bondarenko and she will be hoping just like Serena did yesterday that she can power her opponent off the court.

Not many people know due to all the interest surrounding the retractable roof on Centre Court that there is also a new No 2 Court this year.

Laura Robson (GB) the 2008 girls champion is amongst those given a wild card into the main ladies draw this wimbledon.

David Nalbandian (ARG) has had to withdraw due to hip surgery.

Andy Roddick is playing at Wimbledon for the 1st year as a married man, will it help him or not?

Nadal  is missing from the Queens tournament this year and faces a race against time to get fit for Wimbledon due to a knee injury.
