Marray (r) and Nielsen continued their fine Wimbledon run on Wednesday
Jonny Marray has become the first Briton in 35 years to reach the men's doubles semi-finals at Wimbledon.
Partnering Dane Frederik Nielsen, the 31-year-old moved into the last four with a 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (3-7) 2-6 6-2 victory over James Cerretani and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
Marray and Nielsen, winning in five sets for the third time in four matches, will now face either second seeds Bob and Mike Bryan or Scott Lipsky and Rajeev Ram in the last four.
Marray, ranked 76th in the world in doubles, has played largely on the 'second division' Challenger Tour this season so his success has been widely unexpected.
Prior to Wednesday's success, Mark Cox was the last Briton to reach the men's doubles semi-finals.
