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).

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Andy Roddick has reached his fourth Wimbledon semifinal by beating 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 6-7 (10), 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-4.

The American broke Hewitt to lead 5-4 in the final set and then served out the match Wednesday. He finished the match with 43 aces.

Roddick lost to Roger Federer in the final at the All England Club in both 2004 and '05, but had not been back to the semifinals since then. He also reached the last four in 2003.

Roddick will next face third-ranked Andy Murray.

•Venus Williams (3), United States, vs. Dinara Safina (1), Russia: Williams has played a brand of grass-court tennis so superb that there have been moments when the stadium speakers ought to have played Mozart. Safina has conducted trademark raging battles with herself, moments when the stadium speakers ought to have played AC/DC. (Venus leads head-to-head, 2-1, with no previous Grand Slam meetings.)

•Serena Williams (2), United States, vs. Elena Dementieva (4), Russia: Of the 12 Grand Slam semifinal berths so far this year in women's tennis, Russian players have achieved seven and the Williams sisters three. That's assuming Serena was actually joking last week when she said she was born in Russia but moved to Compton, Calif., as a child. (Serena leads head-to-head, 5-4, and is 2-0 in Grand Slam meetings.)
