The Wimbledon 2013 tennis tournament continues with the men's singles quarter-finals on Wednesday with Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and David Ferrer in action. Both are favored by pundits to make this year's final following the elimination of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, but both still have two matches standing between them and the Grand Slam Final.

Andy Murray will be facing off against Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, and although Murray will be the hot favorite to progress, Verdasco is well known to be a difficult player to play against, being a left-hander with a strong serve.
Murray has described Verdasco, who is ranked No. 54 in the world, as "extremely dangerous," and the Spaniard will be the first left-hander Murray has faced this year so far.
"I think it's pretty amazing six months into the year," Murray has said. "I don't normally mind the way the ball comes off the racquet from the back of the court. I grew up playing with my brother, so that almost feels a bit more natural to me than a righty. But it's just the serve and the way you move on the return that's different."
Left-handed doubles player Johan Brunstrom has practiced with Murray and he has said: "They wanted to see a left-hander like Verdasco and get to see the serve a lot, and what spin there is on the ball.
"He was just getting used to playing with a leftie and the little loop we have, so we were doing some cross courts and down the line. I served a lot, so he got to see a lot of leftie ball."
Earlier in the day Novak Djokovic made his way through to the semi-finals with a straight sets win, although he did encounter various difficulties and was lucky not to lose the first set. However, once he was on top he never looked back and by the end he had beaten his opponent into submission.
