In a repeat of the 2012 Men's Singles title decider, Andy Murray faces 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer on Centre Court in today's Semi-final clash.

Both have eased their way to the last four, and Federer, 33, has rolled back the years in his 17th year playing at the historic tournament.

The current head-to-head record is 12-11 in Federer's favour, but the third seeded Murray is in a rich vein of form and the bookies have struggled to separate the two players.

If Federer goes on to win Wimbledon, he will be the oldest player in the Open Era to win the competition, and he will achieve a record eight singles titles.

However, the Swiss maestro hasn't won a Slam since 2009, and Murray will feel confident he can progress and make his third Wimbledon final.

In the curtain-raiser to the Federer vs Murray battle, World No1 Novak Djokovic takes on the semi-finals' surprise package, 21st seed Richard Gasquet. That match is scheduled for 1pm on Centre Court and the Serbian is strongly fancied to take his place in Sunday's final.

Gasquet has only one victory against Djokovic in their 13 matches, but having knocked out French Open champion Stan Wawrinka in an epic quarter-final, the talented Frenchman will be hopeful of finally reaching his potential after years of underachieving.
