Jie Zheng (CHN) - Through to semi final

The rain held off for long enoughto allow Rafael Nadal to end the British charge at Wimbledon when
he dispensed with Andy Murray in straight sets. Despite the vocal support of a full house on centre
court and thousands more on Henman Hill, Murray was outclassed as the world no 2 dominated play
from start to finish. So no British challenger remains in the race for the Championships, but Nadal
has made it through to the semi-finals.
Also through is Roger Federer, who was untroubled by Croatia's Mario Ancic. The first set went to the
defending champion 6-1, and although the break in the second set took a while in coming there was
an inevitability about Federer's dominance.
All the other seeds from 3 to 32 have been eliminated. Feliciano Lopez fell by the wayside in the
quarter finals when Marat Safin was too powerful and cruised through in 4 sets. The remaining
quarter final, between unseeded Arnaud Clement and Rainier Schuttler was tied up at 1 set apiece
when the rain came and will be finished tomorrow.
