Could we be headed for a rematch of the 2012 Wimbledon men's singles semifinals? Yesterday, No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 4 Roger Federer (pictured) advanced to the semifinals, and if they both keep up their winning ways, it looks like yet another chapter will be written in their nearly decade-long rivalry. Djokovic finished off Marin Cilic in 5 sets, while Federer needed only 4 to drop No. 5 Stan Wawrinka. Elsewhere, Milos Raonic put an end to Nick Kyrgios' luck after the 19-year-old's win over Nadal, and No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov ousted No. 3 Andy Murray to head to the semis. Tomorrow, Djokovic will meet Dimitrov at 8:00AM Eastern, followed by Federer and Raonic at 11.
Catch up on the details and best sneakers from Wimbledon yesterday after the break.
