Top seeded Novak Djokovic takes on Britain's Cameron Norrie in the Wimbledon semi-finals. Djokovic was in big trouble in his quarter final as the defending champion lost the first two sets to Jannik Sinner. However, champions never give up and he fought back to win that match  losing just seven games in three sets. The win keeps alive his hopes of winning a fourth straight Wimbledon title. Djokovic has lost four sets on his way to this semi-final but he's still the hot favourite to again win the title with Nadal out and Nick Kyrgios awaiting the winner of this match in the final. He's only had one previous meeting with Norrie on the ATP Tour. That was in the tour finals event last year and Djokovic won for the loss of just three games. It might not be so easy on Friday but the Serb is the worthy short priced favourite.

Cameron Norrie began this tournament knowing his Grand Slam record has to improve dramatically. He first played one in 2017 but until this event, he'd never made it past the third round of a Grand Slam. This is a big step forward for him, just a shame there's no ranking points available. Just how far he gets in tournaments is more important perhaps. He's won Indian Wells last year and two titles in 2022, now he's in a Grand Slam semi-final so that's massive for him. It's been a struggle getting this far though. Twice he has had to come from two sets to one down to get a win. It happened against Jaume Munar in round two and again in his quarter final against David Goffin. Recovering against those players is a lot easier than when you're trailing Novak Djokovic. A bet on over 31.5 games in this match is the bet to make.
