Thursday, 9 July 2015 00:00 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Roger Federer was at his regal best as he floated into the Wimbledon semi-finals with a silky 6-3 7-5 6-2 win over Frenchman Gilles Simon on Wednesday.

Federer was broken for the first time at this year’s championships but apart from that blip he did not put a foot wrong as he reached his 37th grand slam semi-final, and 10th at the All England Club.

There he will play home favourite Andy Murray who he beat to win the 2012 title -- the last of his 17 grand slam titles.

Such was the seven-times champion’s command of the match that the only thing that could halt the Swiss second seed’s charge was two separate 40-minute rain breaks on No. 1 Court.
