Not far off the mark with my Quarter Final analysis, Roddick did take longer to beat Hewitt than I thought and Murray did it easier than I thought, but one upset that was on the cards came to fruition.

Onto the Wimbledon Semis

MURRAY, ANDREW 1.68 vs RODDICK, ANDY 2.47 - Take out retirements and walkovers and the H2H is 5-3 in Murray's favour - did meet here back in 2006 with Murray winning 76(4),64,64. Again will the local factor be a handicap or a plus??? Murray ridiculously short in early markets considering he's won 1 Slam Semi Final (from 1 appearance) with Roddick winning 4 from 9 - last Slam Final he was in was back in 2006 at the US Open. I do expect Murray to win but am not in any way shape or form taking 1.33

FEDERER, ROGER 1.11 vs HAAS, TOMMY 10.21 - Way back in 2002 I saw these two play on Rod Laver in the 4th Round of the Aussie Open and Haas won 8-6 in the fifth, at the time I thought that these two guys would have a long and healthy rivalry - they may have but one of them has done a bit better than the other and it wasn't the bloke who won that day. All up the H2H is 11-2 in Federer's favour (I don't count a Kooyong exhibition win to Haas) and that day more than 7 years ago was the last time Haas beat the great one. In my opinion the poor German is going to exit in the Semis for the fourth time (never made a Slam Final in 40 attempts), whereas Federer's going into his 20th Slam Final from 40 attempts.

As I did say a few Rounds ago it does appear to be a Federer vs Murray Final but I didn't need to be Einstein to figure that one out.

Cheers
