Federer, Murray both play for spot in Wimbledon semifinals

Four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper was also in Federer’s box, along with girlfriend Irina Shayk, and the actor made it clear who he was supporting as he sported a red Roger Federer hat.

Federer, a seven-time champion from Switzerland, is 34 and still looking to make history at the All England Club by winning a record eighth title. Playing in her 19th Wimbledon and the oldest women’s player in the draw, the 36-year-old Venus last won the title in 2008. “That would be nice”.

But despite his meteoric rise from world No. 144 when he conquered Nadal at Wimbledon two years ago to his current standing as the youngest player in the men’s top 20, Kyrgios remains vulnerable at grand slam draw time. If Federer advances, he will equal Jimmy Connors’ record of 11 Wimbledon semifinal appearances.

In the remaining quarter-final, French 32nd seed Lucas Pouille takes on 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych, the 10th seeded Czech.

The second-seeded Scot’s straight sets win over a risky opponent maintained his standing, following the shock third round exit of world number one Novak Djokovic, as the bookies’ odds-on favorite to lift the Challenge Cup again on Sunday.

Federer, meanwhile, lost his last match to Marin Cilic, though that was back in 2014 at the U.S. Open. “I try my best to win my matches”. “But that was to his credit for just keeping cranking out serves and big returns”. Five-time champion Venus Williams reached the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time since 2009 with victory over Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova yesterday.

Murray, competing in his ninth consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final, has beaten Tsonga in 12 of their 14 encounters – twice at Wimbledon. Unlike Murray, Jo-Wilfred Tsonga ranked 12th this year. I might do it.’ And then, if it didn’t happen, I was gutted. “Every time I come here, I lose to good players”, he lamented.

RAONIC VS. QUERREY: Querrey is playing the tournament of his life, reaching the quarterfinals of a major for the first time while beating top-ranked Djokovic along the way. “I would tell this to his face”.

“I just try and stay in the moment as best I can and hopefully I can keep doing that for the rest of the tournament, because it’s served me well over the years”.

Querrey beat Raonic at Wimbledon in 2012, when the Canadian was just 21.

Only eight players left on the men’s side at Wimbledon with key match featuring Andy Murray today at 16:00 GMT.

The 10th-seeded Czech was forced to finish his fourth-round match against Jiri Vesely on Tuesday because play was suspended by darkness the night before. I’ve done a good job of it so far. “I’m quite used to it actually”.

“When I was younger it was much more hard to stop myself getting carried away with how I was playing or who I was playing”, Murray said in his BBC Sport column.
