Roddick knows he will be battling more than just Murray in his next match.
“I’m looking forward to it,” Roddick said. “We might be able to count the people for me on this [one] hand. But I think it will be something to remember. I think the crowd’s going to be electric.”
“I think it’s going to be a great atmosphere, one that I can certainly appreciate, even if it’s not for me,” he said. “I’m just going to pretend when they say, ‘Come on, Andy’ that they mean me.”
Murray holds a 6-2 edge against Roddick, including a straight-sets win at Wimbledon in 2006.
“Andy has been playing great,” Roddick said. “He’s certainly come into his own as a player. He’s certainly capable of hitting all the shots. He doesn’t really have a lot of weaknesses.”
Federer reached his 21st consecutive Grand Slam semi-final by taming Ivo Karlovic 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 (3). Federer is closing in on his sixth Wimbledon title and record 15th Grand Slam championship.
In the remaining quarter-final Germany’s Tommy Haas upset fourth-seeded Novak Djokovic 7-5, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-3 to advance to his first Wimbledon semi-final.
“This is the best results, the best tennis I’ve played here, the best I’ve been feeling,” Haas said. “Unfortunately, my next opponent is a really tough hurdle to go by.”
