Default Wimbledon 2009

Well the Mens Semifinals are set:

Federer vs Hass
Roddick vs Murray

For me this is one of the best Mens singles semis I can think of. I am a huge Andy Roddick fan and Hass and Murray are among my favorites. I also have huge respect for Federer both as a player and a person. This should be good!

Federer makes easy work of Haas to be the first into the finals! Should be a good match between Andy and Andy!

I would love to see Murray win this...being that he is from England and the "ordeal" with his hometown and all!!! Would be fitting since the UK has not had a Wimbledon Champ since like 1936.

I first have to root for Roddick! But if not Roddick I would love to see AM win...he is a class act too!

Both players seem to be playing a bit conservatively at times, and rightly so! Roddick is getting behind in many of his service games, which is unusual to him. Murray however is looking a bit tired at this stage in the match...Roddick has been running him ragged.

It's absolutely absurd that NBC isn't showing this live.
