LONDON – Roger Federer’s three-set demolition of Andy Murray at Wimbledon on Friday gave a succinct answer to those who question why the Swiss continues to play deep into his thirties when he has already won everything the game has to offer.

LONDON (AP) When Roger Federer faces Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final for the second consecutive year on Sunday, they’ll be resuming a rivalry that has been about as even as possible.

“Maria played well and when she stepped up, I managed to step up”.

Andy Murray admitted there was little he could do to combat the awesome power of Roger Federer as the Swiss cruised to a straight-sets win over the British number one to reach a 10th Wimbledon final.

And it shows no signs of stopping.

I know I’m not the only one who has this kind of intention and goal. We’ve been both been there before.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic will take on US Open victor Marin Cilic for the 13th time.

“They helped me rather than hindered me”, said Federer who said he was looking forward to meeting Murray. She’s the first Spanish woman to advance to the Wimbledon final since Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in 1996. Then again, there was no shame in a 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-4...

So a reporter asked Williams whether Drake might be a “lucky mascot”.

Serena Williams right and her sister Venus Williams stretch ahead of their singles match, at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, Monday.

“We get on well”. “We get on well, but obviously, on Friday – different story”.

At 2/5 with BoyleSports Serena Williams has to still make it past 7/1 shot Sharapova, but the American is the best player in the world, and should once more hoist the famous trophy come Saturday afternoon.

It was not her best match, but she came out the victor, which was all that mattered.

In the last round she was just points away from being knocked out in what would have been a massive shock by Britain’s Heather Watson.

But with rackets in their hands, this has been a one-way street: Williams has won 17 of their 19 career meetings, including the past 16 in a row.
