Federer, Murray reach Wimbledon final

Roger Federer became the first man to reach eight Wimbledon singles finals, knocking out defending champion Novak Djokovic with a beguiling victory under the Centre Court roof.

The third seed progressed to his 24th Grand Slam final with a 6-3 3-6 6-4 6-3 win over tournament favourite Djokovic.

It took Federer only two hours and 19 minutes to end the Serb's reign.

The world number three will next play Andy Murray, who became the first Briton to reach the final in 74 years. He overwhelmed Tsonga 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-5 in two hours 47 minutes on Centre Court.

"Obviously, I'm ecstatic, I'm so happy," said Federer, who could now equal William Renshaw and Pete Sampras's record of seven Wimbledon crowns.

It will be Federer's first Grand Slam final since last year's French Open and his first at Wimbledon since he won his sixth title in 2009.

Andy Murray believes he is the underdog for Wimbledon Federer final.

"I'm probably not expected to win the match, but it is one that, if I play well, I'm capable of winning," he said.
