Good afternoon and welcome to the first of today’s two semi-finals from Queen’s Club. If the weather forecasters are to be believed, this could turn into a rolling rain report. For now, though, we’ll ignore the grey skies and look forward to Gilles Simon against Kevin Anderson, a contest that should offer a host of facsinating contrasts. Simon, the world No13, exudes elegance and flair, and it’s something of a mystery that a player of such talent has only a single grand slam quarter-final appearance to his name. Could it be down to the Frenchman’s lack of a big weapon?
