Probability Question for Dr. Bob Koca

There will be two big events in London May 19-20. One event will have 64 players. The other event will have 128 players. Assume that everyone who plays in the 64-field event will also play in the 128-field event.
What is the probability that at least one person makes the semis of both? You can assume that everyone is 50% to win each match. In reality, this may not be true. Some of the 64 players may, in fact, be stronger than others.
I have an even money bet for ten quid that no one will reach the semis of both events.
