The Championships, Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles Semifinals
Andy Murray vs. Andy Roddick Murray leads series 6-2 Last Meeting - 2009 Qatar EXXON Mobil Open Final Murray won 6-4, 6-2
Andy Murray has evoked a nationwide euphoria among sporting fans, all hoping for this Briton to win the coveted championship that last belonged to the great Fred Perry. Murray looked impressive in his quarterfinal win against former world number one Juan Carlos Ferrero and ensured that he remains the strongest contendor for the title, atleast in the eyes of the home-fans who have now found a new 'Sporting-Hero'. His opponent in the semifinals is another Andy, the American Andy Roddick, who has already tasted Grand Slam success in New York in 2003.
As we compare the style of play, Roddick's serve and volley game favours him on grass and gives him a slight edge in service games. Murray, on the other hand has been consistently impressive with his returns of serve. His pre-quarterfinal against Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka produced some scintillating tennis, but in the end it was the Scot's ability to win key points as a returner that made him seal the victory in five. With such impressive and complementing styles of play, the two are bound to produce some of the best tennis of their lives. Stay with us to know the fate of these champions on TennisEarth.com...!
