Mens Semi Finals

Haas vs Federer

31 year old Tommy is squaring off with Federer on Centre Court.

Federer took the first set. Haas didn't just give it away he forced Federer to go to tie break.

Haas just hit a few forehands into the net not enough top spins I surmise. Federer is playing well like you would expect from him. Federer is dictating his service game. Just impeccable.

Federer is dominating, taking the first two sets. Haas has no answer to Federer's Swiss army knife kind of plays.

Haas is frustrated while Federer is as cool as ever.

Federer finished off Haas with a flying smashed down hit. Federer really played a flawless match.

Roddick vs Murray
Each one got one set, and Roddick is leading the third set with 4 games to 2. Murray received a warning from the chair umpire for uttering an audible obscenity.
Both players are playing well. But I will give the edge to A Rod for his power serve and seemingly stronger mental stance. The body language of Murray at times seem not as positive as he should be. The last time a British won the Championship was Fred Perry in 1936.

The crowd is very appreciative for the two Andys.

Andy Roddick got the job done. It's just unbelievable for Roddick to pull this off. We have an all American women's final and we have an American in the men's final. What a way to celebrate the Independence Day on July Fourth. Once again, the British are disappointed again.
