2013 WIMBLEDON TENNIS
ESPN, 8:00 a.m. ET
The men’s semifinals at Wimbledon this year feature the two top seeds prepared to advance to the finals, but with some very determined lower-rated seeds between them and the big game. No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic (pictured) has been dominant throughout the tournament, not even losing a set thus far. But his opponent today, eighth-seeded Juan del Potro, has been similarly successful this far, and hasn’t lost a set at Wimbledon yet either. By the time their first set is over this morning, so will one of those streaks. The other game played today pits No. 2 seed Andy Murray, trying to win his first Wimbledon championship for home-country Great Britain, against No. 24 seed Jerzy Janowicz, who has a dramatic story of his own. No other men’s tennis player from Poland has ever made it this far at Wimbledon – and Janowicz also is the youngest player on the current tour to reach a Grand Slam semifinal. Murray looks better on paper, but he barely made it past his previous match, dropping the first two sets before gutting out a tough win.
