Tim Henman expects Andy Murray to reach semi-finals of Wimbledon

Tim Henman believes that Andy Murray should have no problem in securing a place in the semi-finals of Wimbledon when he faces Vasek Pospisil in the last eight.

Tim Henman has disclosed that he is expecting Andy Murray to reach the semi-finals of Wimbledon.

The British number one overcame a tough challenge in Ivo Karlovic to reach the last eight of the competition as he defeated the 6'11" Croat in four sets on Centre Court.

Murray will now face off against Vasek Pospisil, who has beaten James Ward and Viktor Troicki, but Henman believes that the number three seed should have no problem advancing to the last four.

He told BBC Sport: "Even losing the third set Andy Murray did a good job of maintaining his positive energy. When another serve flies past you it is easy to get frustrated because you don't know when a chance will come.

"Also, when you are playing Karlovic you have to adapt quickly because the serve is coming from such a great height and then it is bouncing up on the hard ground but Murray has the skills and dexterity to adapt to that.

"To play Pospisil in the quarter-finals is a fantastic draw. Andy will respect him but I expect him to win that one as well."

The match between Murray and Pospisil takes place on Wednesday.
