The British grand slam drought continues, as the UK's last hope, Andy Murray, tasted semi-final defeat at
the hands of Andy Roddick. It was a closely fought contest, with Roddick obtaining a service break to take
the first set before Murray fought back to take the second. Going to a third set, the action was tense and
tight, but despite the noisy support of a massive home crowd on centre court, the American was able to
take tie-break wins in the third and fourth sets to take out the match.
Roddick's opponent will be Roger Federer, making his way through to his 7th straight Wimbledon final.
Federer was untroubled by Tommy Haas, the German's brave charge had taken him this far into the
tournament but could go no further as Federer exerted himself when it mattered to take the match in
straight sets.
So the final will be Federer v Roddick. Federer, looking to regain the Wimbledon crown he lost last year
will be the hottest of favourites - not only has be the incentive of regaining his crown but also a superior
world ranking and an imposing head-to-head record. But for Roddick, his first Wimbledon final gives him
an opportunity to take the title at The Championships for the first time.
