This Wimbledon semifinal is Roger's best springboard to win his record 17th Grand Slam title. Since he's already 30, his chances to do that gets slimmer and slimmer so if it has to happen, this year's Wimbledon is one of his best chances - and even though he will meet Novak Djokovic in the semifinals (starting in a few minutes), I am choosing him not only as my sentimental favorite, but because the way he has played this fortnight, shows that he has a very good chance to win this Grand Slam again. Frankly though, it's a dead heat between him and Novak, since Novak has improved so much in the past two years. It will all just boil down on how each guy takes the chances to open up for them as they play.
The other semifinal is just as exciting, pitting Britain's Andy Murray with French showman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Again, it will be a dead heat between the two because throughout the fortnight, they have shown all the shots they are capable of against their respective opponents. However, I pick Andy Murray to win this battle since he's quite resilient, even in the face of difficult odds, and I've noticed that he doesn't get rattled as easily anymore, just rising to the occasion when it's needed!
