Wimbledon - Men's Semifinal Preview
1 Novak Djokovic vs 3 Roger Federer - H2H: 14-12/Federer
They've played 7 times during '11 & '12 - Nole has taken 6 of those 7.
Each man has lost 6 matches this year. Nole: 41-6. Fed: 44-6.
This is Nole's 16th tip to a Slam Sf: 8-7 and 4th at Wimby: 1-2.
Except for the set he dropped in the 3rd round he's reached the Sf's easily.
Remember: He is the defending champion.
Roger returns to the Wimby Sf's after losing in the Qf's the last 2 years.
This is his 32nd Slam Sf: 23-8 and 8th at Wimbledon: 7-0.
He is looking for his 7th title which would tie him with Sampras.
But wait, there's more: A title would also put him back to #1.
That would also tie him with Sampras with most weeks ever at #1.
And the week after that he'd have the record to himself.

4 Andy Murray vs 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - H2H: 5-1/Murray
The one time Tsonga beat Andy was way back in '08.
This is Jo-W's 5th trip to a Slam Sf: 1-3 and 2nd straight at W: 0-1.
As for Andy... this is his 10th Slam Sf: 3-6.
This is his 4th straight Sf at Wimby: 0-3. The last 2 losing to Rafa.
But with him out of the way...
Andy could become the first Brit in a Wimbledon final since 1938.
No pressure. None at all.

I'm picking Djokovic vs Murray for Sunday's final.
Hey, I'm in good company as those are Boris Becker's picks as well.
