GAME, SET AND MATCH! - BERDYCH 7-6 6-3 6-2 POUILLE. Brilliant Berdych surges into the last four in SW19 for the first in six years where he will meet Murray or Tsonga. It took just one hour and 54 minutes as he overcame an early wobble in the opening set to take down an error-strewn Pouille who never looked likely to cause the upset.
