In the absence of Nadal,Federer, Tsonga, Ferrer and Berdych, the tournament has lost some of its attraction - leaving behind Djokovic and Murray for apparant finalists.
The first semi between world no.1 Serbian Novak Djokovic and 8th ranked Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro comes after the two had played eleven matches previously since they first met at US Open in 2007. Of these eleven encounters, Djokovic prevailed upon Potro 8-3 times.
However, its was Del Potro who beat Djokovic at Indian Wells this year in their 11th encounter in the semis 4-6 6-4 6-4 on the hard courts. Even on their sole grass court encounter in London Olympics 2012, Del Potro beat Djokovic to win the Olympic Bronze. And Djokovic may take advantage of Del Potro's ailing left knee and try to over stretch him to win the semis.
So it remains to be seen whether it is a repitition of the last year or Djokovic overcomes his Del Potro phobia and qualifies for the final.
The match is scheduled for Friday, 5 July 2013 at 12:00 GMT at the Centre Court.
