Overview

Crowd favourite Murray suffered a scare against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-final on 6 June being pushed to the brink before eventually emerging victorious in a pulsating five-set game.

The World No 2 won the game 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 4-6, 6-1. Murray was lucky in a sense as Tsonga's energy level declined in the fifth set which allowed him to finally take control of the match.

The 2013 Wimbledon winner comes into this clash as the favourite but another performance like the one he put up two days back can spell trouble for the Scot.

The forgotten man of tennis Berdych cruised past Lucas Pouille 7-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the quarter-final, winning without expending too much energy.

The World No 9 who reached the final of the 2010 Wimbledon championships has failed to hit those heights since, but has had a decent 2016 so far, reaching the quarter-final of the Australian, French, Miami and Madrid opens while also making it to the semi-final stage at Dubai and Marseille.

Berdych is the more powerful player of the two but what goes against him is that he is too one dimensional. That might just play into Murray's hands when the two face off on the courts of SW19.
