The Frenchman is the lowest-ranked player in the Wimbledon semi-finals — albeit at a thoroughly decent mark of No. 20 — but his record and reputation dims in comparison to his three counterparts.

Gasquet will face world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, leaving world No. 2 Roger Federer to clash with world No. 3 Andy Murray.

KYRGIOS: ‘It was tough reading those things’

Wimbledon: Roger Federer is just two wins away from taking out a record eighth Wimbledon crown. The Swiss maestro is through to his 10th semi-final at the All England Club.

The Big Three boasts 27 majors titles between them. Of that number, 10 have been hoisted at Wimbledon.

At 29, Gasquet is on a career second wind. He last reached this stage back in 2007.

“I’m proud because there are big players in semis,” he said after toppling world No. 4 Stan Wawrinka 6-4 4-6 3-6 6-3 11-9 to reach the last four.

“I’m the worst when you see Federer, Djokovic and Murray and me.

“There is something, I want to enjoy it.”

A former prodigy, Gasquet has never quite fulfilled his potential, regarded more highly for the aesthetics of his game rather than its substance.

While spectators drool over his backhand, tennis hardheads bemoan his flakiness — until he climbed off the canvas to deny Wawrinka.

He enters his 14th clash with defending champion Djokovic with one win from 13 previous contests.

“I want to enjoy it,” Gasquet said. “It’s important for me to think I can win this match.

“That’s the most important — to go on the court and think you can win, it’s something I need to do it on my mental part, to be there to win.

“Of course, it’s incredible player to face in semis to be in grand slam final.

“Novak is the favourite. Everybody knows that. But I want to take my chance and we will see what will happen.”

Defending champion Djokovic powered into his sixth successive Wimbledon semi with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 demolition of US Open winner Marin Cilic.

Doubly determined to succeed after losing the French Open final to Wawrinka, Djokovic said his five-set fourth-round escape against Kevin Anderson has energised his campaign.

“It was one of the toughest matches I played in my career here in Wimbledon,” he said.

“This match required the last drop of energy that I had and concentration and skills to take everything out. I managed to survive.

“That has lifted me up in a way. It allowed me to really feel like I’ve encountered already the toughest match situations.

“It’s a great effort from Richard to win against Stan, who is in a terrific form, and five sets.

“I think the biggest difference with Richard now, maybe comparing to the last couple years, is his fitness.

“I think he improved a lot. I heard he worked hard to get himself really fit and ready to go the distance, and it’s paying off.”

Seven-time champion Federer and 2013 champion Murray clash for the 24th time. The ledger is 12-11 in Federer’s favour.

The pair shared the All England Club’s spoils in 2012 when Federer won the most recent of his 17 majors by beating Murray in the Wimbledon final.

Weeks later, Murray avenged the defeat by claiming gold in the Olympic final on the same court over Federer.

“We both like to look back at that summer,” Federer said, who destroyed Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-3 7-5 6-2 in the quarters.

“Me, not so much at the Olympics. Him, probably not so much at Wimbledon.

“He played unbelievable in the finals of the Olympics. I’m not going to try to look back at that too much, because he really dominated me in that one.”

Since then, Federer has won four of their past six meetings, including the past three.

Murray, who stopped Canada’s Vasek Pospisil in the last eight, has played Federer five time at the majors, losing four.
