Defending champion Novak Djokovic emphatically booked his place in a fourth Wimbledon final with a clinical 7-6(2) 6-4 6-4 defeat of gallant Frenchman Richard Gasquet on Friday.
Underdog Gasquet offered fans on a sun-baked Centre Court plenty of "oooh-aahh" moments with his trademark single-handed backhand but there were not enough to really concern the world number one who looked supreme.
There were a few more unforced errors than normal off the Djokovic racket in a tight first set but once he cruised through the tiebreak he bolted the door on the 21st seed whose wait for a first grand slam final continues.
In the second and third sets a miserly Djokovic made just nine unforced errors and his only slight concern was a stiff shoulder that needed a couple of visits from the trainer.
In the final the 28-year-old Serb will face the master, seven-times champion Roger Federer who defeated Andy Murray 7-5 7-5 6-4. Federer showed his class in the other semifianl. The clash was much of a talk of the town as Federer was meeting the local hero Murray. Federer showed even at his age he still have left a lot and why he's termed as an all time great.
We'll be eagerly waiting for the mouth watering final clash between Djoker & the Master.
