The Men's Singles Semifinals at 2013 Wimbledon sees the four best players compete for a chance to become champion. Check out where you can watch the matches live on your televisions as three of the four players remaining look to win their first Wimbledon title. 

Channel: ESPN

Time: 8 a.m. ET/1 p.m. GMT

Matchups: Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Juan Martin del Potro (8), Andy Murray (2) vs. Jerzy Janowicz (24)

Djokovic vs. Del Potro 
Djokovic is the only remaining player to have won a Wimbledon title in his career. Djokovic is the favorite to win the match, though everybody will be cheering for the Scot, Murray, to win it all. Djokovic won the title back in 2011. He will be looking to capture his second title at the All England Club. With no Roger Federer, Djokovic is also the most succesful Men's Singles player remaining in the tournament, having won six grand slam titles in his career.

Del Potro is no stranger to grand slam finals. He took part in the 2009 U.S. Open Finals when he won the entire tournament. Coincidentally, that was also his only appearance in a grand slam final. This is only the second time in Del Potro's career where he's advanced to the semis.

Attention will be given to Del Potro's knee, which can bail on him at any moment as seen in the previous two rounds.

Murray vs. Janowicz 
This will probably be the toughest match to watch, not because there will be poor tennis played between the two, but because everybody seems to be rooting for these guys. Murray is the crowd favorite while Janowicz is providing one of the best stories at Wimbledon this year.

Murray has all of Great Britain on his back. Murray is not afraid to admit it. He is the No. 2 seed and came back from two sets down in the quarterfinals against Fernando Verdasco. Murray proved to have guts and spirit in that matchup as Verdasco's serve was whopping and his forehand was almost unstoppable. 

Janowicz on the other hand, is the No. 24 seed in the tournament and his resume is as clean as can be. This is only Janowicz's second Wimbledon appearance and he's already playing semifinal ball. Janowicz is a monster server, which will probably drive Murray crazy, but it will be something to keep an eye on. 

The winner of each match advanced to the 2013 Wimbledon Finals. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for Del Potro and Janowicz, who will look to take advantage of their run at 2013 Wimbledon.
