MEN'S FINAL

8 a.m. today, ESPN

novak djokovic vs. roger federer

About Djokovic: Reached his third final at Wimbledon and his 12th final in the past 16 majors. Today's final will be his 35th match against Federer, who leads 18-16. But it's only their second major final; the other was at the 2007 U.S. Open, won by Federer. World ranking: 2.

About Federer: One victory away from a record eighth Wimbledon title (he's tied with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw) and 18th Grand Slam title overall. Would be the oldest Wimbledon winner in at least a half-century (he turns 33 next month). World ranking: 4.
