LONDON (Reuters) - Milos Raonic will not be overawed by seven-times Wimbledon champion Roger Federer when the men take to Centre Court for Friday's semi-final, the eighth seed said after seeing off Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios.

The 23-year-old Raonic powered past Kyrgios 6-7(4) 6-2 6-4 7-6(4) in Wednesday's battle of the big servers to become the first Canadian to reach Wimbledon's last four since 1908.
