Summary

Andy Murray will face Roger Federer in a blockbuster semifinal on Friday after straight sets wins on Wednesday, and Tennis Podcast presenter David Law (BBC Radio 5 Live) returns from his sick-bed to talk about it with Catherine Whitaker and the Telegraph’s Jim White. Which of them looks the most impressive? Which of their previous 23 matches (Federer leads 12-11) is most relevant? Who will win? All questions asked and answered in the latest show. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic will take on Richard Gasquet, who surprisingly overcame Stan Wawrinka 11-9 in the decider. In Thursday’s women’s semifinals, Serena Williams takes on Maria Sharapova after Garbine Muguruza has met Agnieszka Radwanska. Catherine, David and Jim preview them all. The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with the Telegraph, and supported by BNP Paribas, the bank for a changing world.
