World number one Novak Djokovic reached the semifinals of the Wimbledon Championships for the fourth consecutive year on Wednesday with a commanding three set victory over 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 7-6(5), 6-4, 6-3. The match took two hours and 15 minutes which was held on Court No. 1.
“Generally, it was a very close match and that’s what I expected,” Djokovic said.
“Tomas is a very powerful player. We went toe-to-toe in the first set and one shot decided a first set winner. That was important for me to get the set advantage. Even though I started poorly in the second, I still felt quite good on the court. [I’m] just really glad to win in three,” he added.
The Serbian will next face Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina where both will battle it out for a place in the final. This is Del Potro’s first time to reach this far at Wimbledon but the Argentine has a Grand Slam title of his own – the 2009 US Open.
