Wimbledon Final Live:

World No.1 & Five time Wimbledon Champion Roger Federer eased in to his sixth consecutive Wimbledon Final when he beat Former World No.1 Marat Safin 6-3, 7-6, 6-4 in straight sets in the semifinal.He now faces World No.2 Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon final consecutively for the third time.With already 12 grandslam titles to his name, he is chasing for his 13th Grandslam title and sixth at Wimbledon, which would break Tennis legend Bjorn Borg's record of five consecutive titles.

Federer will surely try to avenge his defeat which he faced at French Open Final last month, where he was demolished by Nadal 6-1, 6-3, 6-0.Roger Federer has been unbeatable at Wimbledon for the last 5 years, winning 102 sets and losing just eight, and 671 games to 394.This year he has not even lost a single set on his way to the finals and is surely the favourite to win Wimbledon 2008.

World No.2 Rafael Nadal reached his third consecutive Wimbledon final when he beat Rainer Schuettler of Germany 6-1, 7-6, 6-4 in the semifinals.The Four time French Open Champion lost both the finals against Federer at Wimbledon in their previous meetings.Last time Federer was stretched by Nadal for the first time to five sets, where he wasted four break points in the fifth set.

But this year Nadal has improved a lot and has been playing the best tennis at Wimbledon.He entered the semifinals with dominating 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 victory over British No.1 Andy Murray & now advanced to finals with straight sets victory over unseeded Schuettler.Nadal may have lost both the Wimbledon finals against Federer but he still leads the all time record against Federer, and definitely poses serious threat in the Wimbledon 2008 Final.

Head to Head:
Rafael Nadal leads 11-6 all time but on grass Roger Federer leads 2-0.Nadal has won all the matches in their 3 meetings this year but all of them were played on clay.
