Wimbledon 2015: Results, Highlights, Wednesday Scores from All England Club

Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray all held to form as the top three seeds advanced to the semifinals of the 2015 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday. The lack of marquee upsets has created a star-studded field for the final four.

No. 4 seed Stan Wawrinka wasn't able to complete the quartet, though. The French Open champion was upset by Richard Gasquet in a tremendous five-set marathon that was more about the Frenchman rising to the occasion than a drop-off from the "Stanimal."

Let's check out the complete set of scores from the men's play on Day 9 at the All England Club. It's followed by a recap of the action.

Day 9 Recap

Federer against Murray in the semifinals is a match that's been highly anticipated since the draw was released, and now it's reality.       

The seven-time champion is playing some of his best tennis in quite awhile, perhaps since he won this title in 2012. He easily dispatched Gilles Simon in straight sets, continuing to show terrific movement and textbook-precision serving.

Federer has talked a lot throughout the tournament about feeling stronger physically thanks to the extra week between the French Open and Wimbledon. He maintained that stance ahead of what's likely to develop into a hard-fought battle with Murray, as Matt Cronin of Tennis Reporters noted:

The Swiss superstar is the proud owner of 17 Grand Slam singles titles, but he's captured just one in his past 21 appearances. While there's no doubt he's playing well enough to end a three-year major drought this weekend, it won't be easy by any stretch.

Murray is playing outstanding tennis as well. His defense is always an advantage, but he showed off some aggression against Vasek Pospisil to advance in straight sets. The Canadian has played a lot of tennis over the past two weeks, including doubles, and didn't have enough energy left to keep pace.

Playing in front of the home crowd also helps him. He's a player prone to mood swings that can really impact his play at times. But the fans, usually inside Centre Court, have come to sense those moments and provide him with an emotional lift when necessary.

Wimbledon showcased the celebration after his latest triumph:

Friday marks the 24th encounter between Federer and Murray. Federer holds the narrow 12-11 edge after winning the last three matches. It will be their first meeting of 2015.

Big-serving Kevin Anderson pushed Djokovic to the limit in the previous round. Not only did the match last five sets, but it also carried over into yesterday, which forced the top seed to return on short rest to face Marin Cilic.

There were no signs of fatigue as he followed the lead of Federer and Murray by advancing in straight sets. Though those fellow superstars were on the other half of the draw, it's been anything but a cakewalk for the Serbian, who opened with Philipp Kohlschreiber. And it only got tougher from there.

Amazingly, he's reached this point despite the tough competition and not being able to main top form for extended stretches, as Carole Bouchard of the Yellow Ball Corner pointed out:

The only upset of the day came from the racket of Richard Gasquet. The 29-year-old Frenchman made just two major semifinals in his career before this event, but he's played like a multi-time Grand Slam champion over the past couple of rounds.

Chris Fowler of ESPN highlighted the impressive run:

He faces an uphill battle in the next round, however, with Djokovic winning 11 of their previous 12 matchups.

Looking ahead to Day 10, the women's semifinals are set to take center stage.

Top seed Serena Williams, who's trying to hold all four major titles at once and keep her hopes of a calendar Grand Slam alive, faces off with longtime rival Maria Sharapova. The American holds a 17-2 advantage in their prior meetings and has won the last 16.

The other semi features Garbine Muguruza going up against savvy veteran Agnieszka Radwanska. Muguruza is the lowest seed remaining at No. 20, but her power makes her a legitimate threat on the fast grass courts of the All England Club.

Make no mistake, however—Williams remains the clear tournament favorite.
