Wimbledon 2013 | Novak Djokovic v Tommy Haas July 1, 2013

Wimbledon 2013 | Novak Djokovic v Tommy Haas July 1, 2013

The  4th round of Wimbledon 2013 line-up will see a repeat of a French Open quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Tommy Haas. On that occasion, Tommy Haas had exerted a lot of energy, most of it in a third round epic against John Isner, but this time round, and on the grass, I think this will be a much closer affair. Novak Djokovic has sailed through his first three matches and on Saturday, he barely made an unforced error in a 6-3 6-2 6-2 rout of Jeremy Chardy. Haas lost the opening set of his third round match to Feliciano Lopez, but rebounded extremely well to post a promising four set win against the Eastbourne champion. Haas has beaten Djokovic this year in Miami and at Wimbledon too in 2009. The German player has weapons to threaten Djokovic, but I have to sit up and take note of the Djokovic's progress through the draw and I think the quarter-finals beckon for sure.

Haas’ long and injury-riddled career has seen him make semi-final appearances at the Australian Open (1999, 2002, and 2007) and the Wimbledon (in 2009). The world No. 13 has won three out of his eight clashes with Djokovic, including a straight-set demolition in the 2013 Miami Masters. Though the Djokovic is the favourite in this draw, it could end up being a crackerjack of a game.

Andy Murray — one of the top seeds to have endured Wimbledon 2013 — has won both his clashes with the 30-year-old Russian. Mikhail Youznhy (world No. 26) is no mug though, with 10-2 record since the Rome Masters, and two straight-set victores in his last three games. Though the odds are heavily in favour of the Andy Murray, this match has the potential to surprise us.

The ladies semifinal Wimbledon 2013 match between Serena Williams and Sabine Lisicki will be played in July 1, 2013 on Centre Court.

The defending champion Serena Williams seems unstoppable at the moment, recording her 600th career victory with a 61-minute rout of veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm in the third round. Sabine Lisicki — who started her Wimbledon campaign with a 20-12 win record and a singles title this year — has been in good form as well, overcoming World No. 13 Samantha Stosur in her previous match.

Serena Williams, right now on a 34 match winning-streak, will also be eyeing her sister Venus’ decade-long record of 35. Serena Williams displayed excellent performance in French Open and Wimbledon 2013 thus, Williams is the favorite of the tournament. As expected, Williams probably overcome Lisicki and proceed to the Wimbledon 2013 finals.
