Andy Murray faces a London 2012 rematch against Roger Federer as the pair meet in the Wimbledon semi-finals in a repeat of the Olympic final three years ago.

On that occasion, it was the British No 1 who emerged triumphant, and set him up to go on and clinch his first ever Wimbledon title a year later - a feat he is hoping to achieve once again this Sunday.

However, in his way stands Federer, a man who has won more grand slam titles than any other, and the Swiss has looked mercurial in his march to the last-four.

Fans will have to wait to see the epic showdown though as the opening match on Centre Court sees World No 1 Novak Djokovic face surprise semi-finalist Richard Gasquet. Djokovic overcame a scare in the fourth round against Kevin Anderson before dispatching Marin Cilic in straight-sets, with the Serbian's match against Gasquet due to start at 1pm.

Murray's match against Federer follows, and it's likely to start between 3pm and 4pm, although that's solely dependent on when the first match on Centre Court reaches its climax.
