The King stay the King.

Andy Murray came into his Wimbledon semi-final against Roger Federer in strong form, but once again it was the Swiss maestro who left the Scot dreaming of next year. Federer advanced to the final against Novak Djokovic after a 7-5 7-5 6-4 win that saw the 17-time Grand Slam champion remarkably play some of the best tennis of his career.

Andy Murray actually played quite well, but there isn’t much you can do when your opponent is returning your best strokes with backhand winners like this.

We are in for an epic weekend of sport, but Djokovic v Federer could actually be the best thing in it.
