Serbia's Novak Djokovic set up an Olympic semi-final showdown with Andy Murray after beating French fifth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1, 7-5 on Thursday. Djokovic is bidding to win his first Olympic gold medal after taking home a bronze from the 2008 Games in Beijing and he remains firmly in the hunt after seeing off the big-serving Tsonga on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
Following a hard-fought win over Lleyton Hewitt in the previous round, this was Djokovic at his dominant best and the world number two's first grasscourt clash with the in-form Murray promises to be a titanic battle. The Serb has every reason to believe he can win after surviving an epic five-setter against Murray in the Australian Open semi-finals earlier this year to secure his eighth win in 13 meetings with the world number four. Djokovic made a superb start against Tsonga, breaking in the second game and again in the sixth before serving out the set.
