What have they said?
Andy Murray: “He serves big, he goes for his shots and he’s not an easy guy to come up against. He’s had some great results here in the past. He had a big win against Novak here last year and he’s beaten [Jo-Wilfried] Tsonga here too. He’s a great grass-court player, but I’ve had good success against him in the past and hopefully I’ll take that into the match with him on Wednesday.”
Sam Querrey: “The crowd is going to be behind him. But sometimes it’s fun to go out there and play where the crowd is behind the other player 100 per cent. I’m going to try to play aggressive, hopefully play well and sneak out a win.”

Djokovic explains his retirement
This is what Novak Djokovic had to say after his quarter-final retirement against Tomas Berdych due to injury:
"It's not the shoulder. It's the elbow that already keeps bothering me for over a year and a half actually. It's unfortunate that I had to finish Wimbledon this way. I mean, if someone feels bad about it, it's me. But, you know, I tried. I tried what I could do from yesterday, you know, to get it in the condition where I'm able to play. I was able maybe, you know, for 30 minutes to play with some pain that was bearable, let's call it that way. All the treatments and medications couldn't really help. The serve and forehand were the shots where I could feel it the most. Just after that there was really no sense.
"I spent probably about two hours, two and a half hours today on the table in between the warm-up and match, trying to do everything I possibly could to make me fit. But it wasn't to be. You know, for an athlete, especially in an individual sport, there is no way out. If you don't feel fit, unfortunately that's it. You know, there is no one to come instead of you."
Semi-final line-up confirmed
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Wimbledon 2017 men's singles semi-final line-up:

- Roger Federer [3] vs Tomas Berdych [10]
Thanks for tuning in!
It's been another eventful day at the All England Club, perhaps the most eventful day of these Championships so far.
Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, who have shared the men's singles title for the last four years, are both out and it is the majestic Roger Federer who is the last man standing of 'the Big Four'.
Be sure to join us tomorrow as attention turns to British woman Jo Konta as she aims to reach the women's singles final.
Standing in her way will be the evergreen Venus Williams, five times a champion here and looking for her first major title since 2008.
It's going to be a cracker!
