Canadian takes on 7-time champ Federer

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 either top seed Novak Djokovic or No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov in Sunday's final. That match was taking place on centre court, to be immediately followed by Raonic vs. Federer.
Bouchard, seeded 13th, plays for the women's title Saturday against No. 6 seed and 2011 champion Petra Kvitova
