Roger Federer is one win away from his 11th Wimbledon final, while Andy Murray is chasing a spot in the title match for the third time.

Their semifinals are on Friday at the All England Club.

Third-seeded Federer will be up first on Centre Court, facing No. 6 Milos Raonic.

No. 2-seeded Murray will then play No. 10 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic.

Federer, bidding for a record eighth title, has never lost a Wimbledon semifinal. Raonic, who lost in the semifinals to Federer in 2014, is seeking to become the first Canadian man to reach a Grand Slam final.

Murray, who won the title in 2013, is aiming to reach his 11th major final. Berdych was runner-up here in 2010 to Rafael Nadal.
