Germany’s Tommy Haas is determined to produce one of the biggest upsets in Wimbledon history as he takes on five-time champion and top-seed Roger Federer in the tournament’s semifinals.
The 31 year-old from Hamburg has not lost on grass this season and he could become the first German in a Wimbledon men’s singles final since Boris Becker in 1995. Although Federer leads Haas 11-3 in their meetings last time they played, the 34th seed took Roger to five sets, winning the first two. So, expect today’s match to be a close one.
The game starts at 13:00 London (08:00 ET).
UPDATE: Roger Federer reached a record 20th Grand Slam final and a seventh straight Wimbledon title match with a 7-6 (7/3), 7-5, 6-3 win over Tommy Haas.

World No. 3 Andy Murray faces sixth-seeded American Andy Roddick on Centre Court later this afternoon to secure a place in the Wimbledon
2009 Final.
Roddick, who is back in the semis of the tournament for the first time since 2005, has grown stronger, and he has matured mentally as well. But in this match, he’s definitely the underdog. The 23-year-old Nebraskan knows that the crowd will be loud and hoping his serve cracks like a broken vase.
Murray has also elevated his game to such a level that he is now a genuine sporting superstar. And I think the 22-year-old Scot has a real shot at becoming the first male British Wimbledon champion since Fred Perry way back in 1936.
The semi-final round starts at 13:00 London (08:00 ET).
