On this final day of my favorite tournament, Andy Roddick will face Roger Federer, their fourth Slam final appearance together, their third on the lawns of SW19.

Roddick is trying to become the first American to win Wimbledon since Pete Sampras in 2000. Federer is trying to break the record of 14 Slam titles he shares with Sampras.

This is Federer's seventh consecutive appearance in the Wimbledon final. It's Roddick's third appearance and it come five years after he made his first. Roddick made his last Slam final appearance three years ago at the US Open.

This is their 21st professional meeting, just as yesterday's final featured the sisters' 21st professional meeting. Roddick, however, is seeking only his third victory against a man who has had his number from the first match they ever played.
