What more could you ask for?

The Order of Play gave us the two men’s Semi Finals.

	Delayed by rain, today’s play gets under way, with Roger Federer facing surprise semi finalist 34-year-old Jonas Bjorkman in the first match. This semi-final saw the World number one produce a near perfect display of tennis to reach his fourth successive Wimbledon final. The 13th Wimbledon for Jonas was an ordeal like no other, as Roger played a match of stunning intensity and unbreakable skill. The Swiss went on to become only the seventh man to win Wimbledon four times in a row, and the third man in the open era after Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras.!

	Men’s Semi Finals Rafael Nadal (Spain) (seeded 2) beat Marcos Baghdatis (Cyprus) (seeded 18)

	Rafael Nadal was then to overcome an in-form Marcos Baghdatis This was a match which was widely anticipated to go the distance, and many observers favoured Marcos as the likely finalist. The Cypriot was at times dazzling, always resourceful, and never gave up. But Rafael’s lustre would not be dimmed for so much as a set. When it was Nadal's time to serve for the match he did not falter, going to match point after a 19-shot rally and then sealing victory with a smash.

All in all a wonderful day at Wimbledon.
