Andy Murray got the better of David Ferrer to reach Wimbledon semis


It was a superb fight back of Andy, grinding down David Ferrer to reach his fourth successive Wimbledon semis.

From a set and a break down, Murray came back and went through after 4 sets in three hours and 52 minutes.

This was a sweet revenge for the Scot after beaten by Ferrer in the quarter-finals of the French Open.

No British man has won a major since Fred Perry landed the Wimbledon and US Open titles in 1936, and Murray is the best hope in recent years.

Murray into semis



After the match, Murray said: “It was a very tough match, a long match, a lot of tight moments. He’s a great player and sometimes doesn’t get enough respect.

“I’ve known him for a long time and he’s an unbelievably hard worker”

But it would have required more than hard work to beat Murray in this form. A rain delay in the fourth set only delayed the inevitable. However, Ferrer had given Murray a stern test after taking the first set and won a break in the second set.

Murray will be facing Tsonga in the semi-finals, the Frenchman showed a very steady performance since French Open till now. He almost got the better of defending champion Djokovic in the French Open quarter finals. It will be an interesting match to watch.
