Britain had its hopes on Andy Murray, who is the world number three, winning his semi-final today against American Andy Roddick, for his place against Roger Federer in the Wimbledon 2009 final that takes place on Sunday.
But, according to telegraph.co.uk, British tennis fans were left disappointed, after he was defeated by the sixth seed Andy Roddick. The grueling Centre Court match was watched by a crowd of around 15,000 people.
At one stage the crowd, many of them Andy Murray fans, were heard clapping and chanting his name. After a long game that lasted three hours and seven minutes, Roddick took the final victory with 4-6, 6-4, 6-7 and 6-7.

I sincerely hope that Murray’s loss will be a lesson in soberness for British media and British people. It was unbearably annoying to read the articles about Andy Murray, mostly biased and pitifully nationalistic.
Murray could have reached the finals of Wimbledon first time since 1983 but he lost against Roddick. It was a very interesting match. Now, Roddick will face Federer in finals. Roddick has lost to Federer thrice. All The Best Roddick!!
