Raonic must get past Federer to reach Wimbledon final

Milos Raonic looks to follow the lead of fellow Canadian Eugenie Bouchard today as he plays for a spot in the Wimbledon men's final.

Bouchard on Thursday became the first Canadian women's singles tennis player to reach a Grand Slam final when she won her women's semifinal match on the grass at the All England Club.

Raonic could become the first man playing as a Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final. Canadian-born Greg Rusedski made the U.S. Open title match in 1997, but by then he was competing for Great Britain.

Raonic, the No. 8 seed from Thornhill, Ont., in the Toronto area, will have to get past seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, the No. 3 seed and one of the greatest players in the history of the game.

The survivor will face Novak Djokovic in the final. The top-seeded Serb defeated No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (7) in the other semifinal, played just before Raonic and Federer took centre court.

Bouchard, seeded 13th, plays for the women's title Saturday against No. 6 seed and 2011 champion Petra Kvitova.

Canada also has a player in the men's doubles final after Vancouver's Vasek Pospisil and his American teammate Jack Sock won their semifinal match today.

Toronto's Daniel Nestor and his mixed doubles teammate Kristina Mladenovic of France are in the semifinals of their draw.
