On Sunday, Roger Federer seeks to win the Wimbledon title against Novak Djokovic, who beat him in last year’s Wimbledon final.
Federer who is 33 years old, proves that age is not an obstacle if you are talented and passionate about succeeding, from his 7-5 7-5 6-4 win to reach the 10th Wimbledon final.
Federer said,“This is one of the best matches I have ever played in my career.” He added that,“ It is amazing how happy everyone at home is for you, there was applause from the Royal Box as I walked back all the way to the locker room.”
In the 2012 Olympic final, Murray, who also won the Wimbledon in 2013, beat Federer. However, Murray’s victory fell short as he lost four times in the second successive grand slam.
Djokovic, who is the defending champion, previously marched into his 4th Wimbledon final in five years, beating Richard Gasquet in all the three sets. In 2007, Gasquet reached the semis in Southwest London for the last time.
Djokovic said, “The rematch with Federer is probably the biggest challenge I can have.”
“He loves playing here. If am not wrong, this is where he plays his best tennis. “ Djokovic said.
On the other hand, Federer is not thinking of last year’s finals. The only thing he remembers about the match is that it was unbelievably thrilling. He is ready to face Djokovic and says that it is great play him anywhere because of his success.
At 33 years, Federer is marked second as the oldest man to reach Wimbledon final after 39 year old Ken Rosewell (born in 1974)
Djokovic is pursuing his ninth grand slam title, after failing to complete his collection last month at the French’s Open.
All in all, the stage is set. Will Djokovic retain his title?
