Roddick ends Murray's dream

7:00 am on 4 July 2009

Roger Federer will meet Andy Roddick in the final of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

While the Swiss great eased into his seventh straight final in London, beating Germany's Tommy Haas in straight sets, the American Roddick upset the Scot Andy Murray three sets to one.

While Murray's bid to become the first British man since 1938 to advance to the Wimbledon men's tennis final failed, he pushed Roddick all the way, forcing tiebreaks in the third and fourth sets before the American won 6-4 4-6 7-6 7-6.

Roddick will now meet Roger Federer after the Swiss great eased into his seventh straight final in London, beating Germany's Tommy Haas in straight sets 7-6 7-5 6-3.
