Roger Federer will face a familiar foe in his chase for Grand Slam history: Andy Roddick -- a player he has beaten in 18 of 20 matches -- stands in the way of a record 15th major title. The milestones just keep coming for Federer, who has reached his seventh straight Wimbledon final and 20th in a major championship match overall.

Anna Kournikova will miss the rest of the season with a wrist injury. World Team Tennis said Kournikova made her decision after experiencing pain from tenosynovitis while practicing for what would have been her seventh season with the league. The St. Louis Aces player has not responded to therapy or a series of cortisone shots.

With an often boisterous crowd fully behind him, it was the man in front of Andy Murray that kept the third-ranked Scot from becoming the first British man to reach the Wimbledon final in 71 years. Murray didn't play poorly in his 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (7) loss to Andy Roddick, far from it. He even gave the thousands of fans on Centre Court plenty to scream and cheer about throughout the...

Venus Williams is just about the perfect older sibling: She supports Serena endlessly, protects her fiercely and even lets her pick which bedroom she wants when they're on the road. Where does Venus draw the line? At Grand Slam championships. The sisters face each other again in a major final, meeting Saturday for the Wimbledon title for the fourth time.

Andy Roddick has reached his third Wimbledon final by beating British hope Andy Murray 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (5). Roddick will face five-time champion Roger Federer in Sunday's final. The American lost to Federer in the 2004 and '05 finals, as well as the '03 semifinals. Federer advanced earlier by defeating Tommy Haas of Germany 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-3.

Against almost any other player, Tommy Haas would have had a fighting chance in the Wimbledon semifinals. Instead, the German's solid play on Centre Court ended up in a relatively tame 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-3 loss to five-time champion Roger Federer on Friday. "I served extremely well," Haas said.

Roger Federer has reached his seventh straight Wimbledon final Friday by beating Tommy Haas of Germany 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-3. Federer won five consecutive titles at the All England Club before losing to Rafael Nadal in last year's final. At this year's tournament, the second-seeded Swiss is trying to win his record 15th Grand Slam title.

Andre Agassi wanted to smack some tennis balls around this summer, so he decided to take Billie Jean King up on her offer. King, the co-founder of World Team Tennis, and commissioner Ilana Kloss traveled to his home in Las Vegas earlier this year and asked the eight-time major champion to play in their league.

The current edition of Wimbledon is the 23rd Grand Slam tournament since Andy Roddick won his lone major championship at the 2003 U.S. Open. He badly wants to win a second. It's why he changed coaches for this season. Slimmed down. Put in as much work as ever in practice, striving to improve his returns, his backhands, his volleys.

Four top women's tennis players will again face off in a one-night tournament at Madison Square Garden for the Billie Jean King Cup. Sponsor BNP Paribas announced Thursday that the event will be played March 1. Serena Williams won the inaugural title earlier this year with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over sister Venus.

Venus Williams has easily reached her eighth Wimbledon final by routing top-ranked Dinara Safina 6-1, 6-0. The five-time champion won the opening nine points of Thursday's match and saved the only break point she faced in the third game of the first set. Venus Williams will play younger sister Serena Williams in Saturday's final.

Serena Williams has rallied to beat Elena Dementieva 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6 and reach the Wimbledon final for the second year in a row. The two-time Wimbledon champion saved a match point with a backhand volley while trailing 5-4 in the third set of Thursday's semifinal. Williams dominated on her serve in the first set after being broken in the first game of the match, but she couldn't hang on...

Andy Murray has reached his first Wimbledon semifinal after overpowering Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain 7-5, 6-3, 6-2. Murray won the last five games of the match Wednesday to wrap up the win in 1 hour, 41 minutes. Murray became the first Briton since Tim Henman in 2002 to reach the Wimbledon semifinals.
