Yep, it’s almost over and we reckon this dude with the biggest chin in tennis will have something to do with the tournament’s conclusion.

The final of the most grandiose grand slam tournament in tennis is near, and while we already know it’ll be an all – Williams final in the women’s division of the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, we still have no idea who’ll come out from the men’s side of things.

With defending champion Rafael Nadal out of the tournament due to his injury, five-time Wimbledon winner and world no.2 Roger Federer has a chance to resume his reign on top of tennis.

The win at Roland Garros was not only Federer’s first ever French Open crown, but it made Federer only the sixth person in history to win all four Grand Slam titles. Moreover, Federer’s all-time best record of 14 Grand Slam titles, which equaled Pete Sampras’, means that victory at Wimbledon would set a new tennis record and prove Roger Federer’s status as the most successful player in history, if not the greatest.

And in Wednesday’s quarterfinal match, Roger Federer neutralized Ivo Karlovic’s huge serves Wednesday to reach the Wimbledon semifinals and move a step closer to a record 15th Grand Slam championship.

Federer conjured up a few great returns to break the 6-foot-10 Croatian twice and secure a 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 (3) victory on another sunbaked day at the All England Club.

Federer will face Tommy Haas, who reached his first Wimbledon semifinal by upsetting No.4 Novak Djokovic 7-5, 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-3. The 24th-seeded Haas saved three straight set points in the tiebreaker Wednesday before converting his first with a volley for a 2-0 lead. He sealed the win when Djokovic netted a forehand return on the first match point.

The 31-year-old Haas was the oldest player to reach the quarterfinals, while the 22-year-old Djokovic was the youngest. Haas also beat Djokovic in the grass-court final at Halle, Germany, last month.

So who’ll meet the winner of this semifinal match between Federer and Hass in the finals?

With Nadal out, it creates a huge opening for Andy Murray, who now becomes the favorite on the top half of the draw. Wimbledon betting enthusiasts know that the crowd will be pulling for him, and he’ll likely be the man meeting Federer or Hass in the finals. The Wimbledon odds display a much clearer picture now that there is no more necessary speculation about Nadal.

Of course, he needs to get rid of Andy Roddick first and we’ll find out on Friday who’ll be advancing to the finals.
