The 29-year-old Frenchman reached his second All England Club semi-final -- eight years after his first -- with a 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 11-9 victory over fourth seed Stan Wawrinka on Wednesday.
While he was spending three hours on court, defending champion Djokovic, who is his semi-final opponent on Friday, seven-time winner Federer and 2013 champion Murray hardly broke sweat as they took their expected places in Friday's last-four line-up.
"I'm proud because there are big players in the semis. But I'm the worst when you see Federer, Djokovic and Murray and me," said Gasquet.
While he is in his second Wimbledon semi-final, Federer is in his 10th, Djokovic is in his seventh while Murray has made the last-four for the sixth time.
Adding to his inferiority complex, Gasquet has only beaten Djokovic once in 12 meetings.
His only win came at the 2007 Masters Cup while he was crushed by the world number one in the fourth round of the French Open last month, winning just six games in a straight sets rout.
"Novak is an incredible player to face in the semis of a Grand Slam. I want to enjoy that moment and to try to reach the final, of course. Novak is the favourite. Everybody knows that. But I want to take my chance and we will see what will happen.
