Milos Raonic joined Eugenie Bouchard as the first Canadian singles players in the Open era of tennis to reach the Wimbledon semifinals by defeating Australia's Nick Kyrgios on Wednesday.
Raonic, the No. 8 seed from the Toronto area, won his quarter-final match 6-7, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the grass of the All England Club.
The Canadian's next opponent is seven-time champion Roger Federer. The No. 4 seed, who last won in 2012, defeated fellow Swiss and No. 5 seed Stan Wawrinka 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4.
Top seed Novak Djokovic will face No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov in the other semi.
Dimitrov knocked off defending champion and third seed Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-2, while Djokovic prevailed 6-1, 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2 against No. 26 seed Marin Cilic .
Bouchard beat Raonic to the punch by a few hours, advancing to the semifinals of the women's draw with a 6-3, 6-4 win over No. 9 seed Angelique Kerber of Germany.
Bouchard, the No. 13 seed from Montreal, has now reached the final four in each of the three Grand Slam events this season.
The 20-year-old lost in the semis at both the Australian Open and the French Open.
Bouchard will now face No. 3 seed Simona Halep, who dispatched No. 19 Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-0.
Bouchard lost her only previous meeting against Halep, on the hardcourt surface at Indian Wells last March.
"She's a good player and I'm ready for another tough match," Bouchard said.
The other semifinal pits No. 23 Lucie Safarova against No. 6 Petra Kvitova.
Kvitova won Wimbledon in 2011, and Lisicki reached the final last year
