FANCY watching Andy Murray in his semi-final against Andy Roddick?

Then be prepared to pay through the nose.

Wimbledon tickets are being sold for up to £20,000 ($47,500) each following Murray's quarter-final victory over Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Demand has soared and tennis fans are desperately trying to get hold of Wimbledon tickets online with one seller offering four tickets at £20,000 a piece.

Fans have been queuing outside Wimbledon for two days to buy tickets and prices are higher than ever - a pair of tickets for Wednesday's quarter-final, worth £170, sold for £6,100.

If Murray defeats Roddick in today's semi-final, a potentially mouthwatering clash with Roger Federer in the final might materialise.
