Andy Murray's Wimbledon dreams are over for another year after losing a nail-biting four-set semi-final to Andy Roddick, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(9-7), 7-6(7-5).

The turning point came in the third set when Andy Murray fought back from 5-2 down only to lose the tie-break.

Despite losing, Andy Murray's had the best Wimbledon of his career so far, and Roddick said he'd had to play his best tennis to beat world number three.

Roddick will now have to take on Roger Federer in Sunday's final.

Federer went through earlier on Friday, after beating Tommy Haas in straight sets, 7-6(7-3) 7-5 6-3.

Meanwhile, Andy Murray's brother Jamie, is also in semi-final action in the mixed doubles.

Murray and partner Liezel Huber are playing the ninth seeds Mark Knowles and Anna-Lena Gronfeld.
