Seven-time champion Roger Federer played down the favourite tag as he prepared for his 12th Wimbledon semi-final on Friday.
The 35-year-old Swiss third seed plays Czech 11th seed Tomas Berdych on Centre Court at about 16:00 BST.
Seventh seed Marin Cilic of Croatia faces American 24th seed Sam Querrey - conqueror of Andy Murray - in the first semi-final at 13:00.
"Being favourite or not the favourite doesn't matter," said Federer.
"These other guys are all big hitters. I feel like they will have their word to say of the outcome of the matches."
Federer has yet to drop a set as he looks to become the second-oldest man to reach a Wimbledon final in the open era - Ken Rosewall finished runner-up at the age of 39 in 1974 - and ultimately extend his record number of Grand Slam titles to 19.
