Wimbledon Day 9

The last four places for the men's semi finals  have been decided and the matches yesterday were enthralling. 

Novak Djokovic made it to the semi-finals without dropping a set and he played Tomas Berdych . Djokovic is the man to beat and he is playing well.

Juan Martin Del Potro also made it to the semi-finals beating David Ferrer in straight sets. What made Del Potro's victory even more remarkable was the fact that he he fell badly in the first game. 

He had an injury time out whilst the Doctor taped his leg and he was still able to defeat Ferrer in straight sets.

Jerzy Janowicz beat his country man Lucasz  Kubot to make it to the semi-finals. To be honest that before Wimbledon I had never heard of either player. 

Jerzy Janowicz will now play Andy Murray and Murray will have to be at his best to beat Janowicz as Janowicz is playing his first Wimbledon semi-final and has nothing to lose.

Andy Murray's match against Fernando Verdasco was thrilling. Andy came from two sets down to win in five sets. Once it got to three all in the fifth set I could barely watch. 

I felt for Fernando Verdasco as he had thrown away two sets to love and then to lose in five sets must have been very painful for him.

Predictions!!!

I think or I am hoping that Andy Murray will beat Jerzy Janowicz in straight sets.

I think that Djokovic will beat Del Potro in straight sets as well and this means it would be an Andy v Novak final. 

Which would mean a repeat of the US Open 2012 final where Andy was victorious.
