CRI听力:Djokovic and Federer to Meet for Wimbledon Final
World Number One and top seed Novak Djokovic faced off French player Richard Gasquet in straight sets on Friday. It's his 10th win over the Frenchmen and the match saw Gasquet putting up an impressive effort.
In the post match interview, the French player says he can see why his opponent is always a cut above.
"I'm really pleased with the way I played. From the baseline I was playing great, I was fast, going to the net with a lot of confidence. But the key is, he serves better than me, he returns better than me, and when you have these two shots on grass, that what makes the difference."
The second to play on Centre Court in the men's semi finals are seven time Champion Roger Federer and British number one Andy Murray. The audience expected some top spin tennis from the number two and number three seed and they surely didn't disappoint.
Both men are at their best and gave a three set match that was frequently punctuated with deuces and set points. In the end, it was Federer who turned out to be the better player, building up an immaculate service game and winning 84% of his first serve points.
This is how the 33-year old Swiss commented on his own performance:
"I think it's my serve again. I have been serving very well the entire tournament. I don't think I face one break point today, against maybe one of the best return game player we've seen in the tournaments. So I'm very very pleased to have done that. I kept the pressure up and I went for my shots and I was able to mix it up like the way I usually do. And then again, I just kept pushing forward, stay focused and it all worked out very well."
In his 10th Wimbledon final, Federer will meet reigning champion Novak Djokovic on Sunday. The two were in last year's final together and it was the Serb who walked away with the Wimbledon title.
