At two sets to love down to Roger Federer there seemed no way that Kevin Anderson was going to be able to get back into the match. He managed to get the match level by winning the next couple of sets and then won the match winning the final set 13-11, a score his opponent in this semi-final would be proud of. It's his first ever time in the semi-finals at Wimbledon having previously never made it past the fourth round until this year. Before beating Federer, he'd only beaten one seed, Philipp Kohlschreiber (25) and had a tough time getting past Gael Monfils in the fourth round. He's certainly playing a fair number of games in this tournament but as long as he doesn't have a bad reaction to the shock of beating Federer, he has a decent chance of reaching the final.

John Isner is seeded ninth for this tournament, one place below Anderson, but like his opponent in this semi-final had never made it past the fourth round at Wimbledon until this year. He may have won 13 titles on the ATP tour but amazingly this is only the first time he has played a Grand Slam semi-final and has only ever got to the last eight once before and that was seven years ago. This year he's been in good form winning the Miami Open which is a Masters 100 tournament. At Wimbledon it's surprising his massive serve hasn't reaped more benefits. He's dropped three sets on his way to this semi-final and Ruben Bemelmans took him to five sets in the second round.  Isner has a good record against Anderson and won their only match on grass, he can get the win here as that win over Federer is going to be a hard act to follow for the South African.
