Wimbledon men s final

WIMBLEDON, Wimbledon men s final: Roger Federer will walk out on to Wimbledon’s Centre Court in a bid to win a record-breaking 15th Grand Slam title.

The man standing in his way on the other side of the net is hard-serving American Andy Roddick, who beat Britain’s Andy Murray in the semi-final.

Federer and Roddick have met twice before in the Wimbledon final, with the Swiss maestro winning in both 2004 and 2005. The overall record does not look good for the American, who has lost 18 of their 20 encounters.

Federer drew level with Pete Sampras’s all-time record of 14 Grand Slam titles when he won the French Open at Roland Garros last month.

If he wins he will also retake the world number one spot from Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who missed Wimbledon through injury.

Federer, 27, is playing in his seventh straight final at the All England Club, aiming for his sixth title.

“Tension always comes back for any Grand Slam final,” he said. “Records are part of this great match right now so it’s obviously even more of an incentive to try really hard.”

Asked about the number one spot he said: “Of course it’s nice to hang on to it, going through life being the best, being called the best by everybody, by fans.
