Wimbledon - The 2008 Finals: Nadal vs. Federer http://goo.gl/LEqgOWatch livestream http://goo.gl/2Y3jiWIMBLEDON, England — For Roger Federer, it's Wimbledon final No. 8.For Andy Murray, it's No. 1 — and the first for a British man since 1938.Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam champion, beat defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 Friday under the closed roof at Centre Court to reach a modern-era record eighth final at the All England Club. He is now one victory from equaling Pete Sampras' record of seven titles.''I have one more match to go. I'm aware of that,'' said the 30-year-old Federer, who is 6-1 in Wimbledon finals. ''Still, it's always nice beating someone like Novak, who has done so well here last year, the last couple years.''The next challenge will come Sunday against Murray, who is the first British man to even reach the Wimbledon final since Bunny Austin 74 years ago. Murray, also trying to become the British man to win the Wimbledon title since Fred Perry in 1936, beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in the second semifinal.If Federer does win Sunday in his 24th Grand Slam final, he would also take the No. 1 ranking from Djokovic and equal Sampras' record of 286 weeks as the top-ranked player.''There's obviously a lot on the line for me in terms of winning here, the all-time Grand Slam record, world No. 1,'' Federer said. ''I'm also going into that match with some pressure, but I'm excited about it. That's what I play for.''Federer and Djokovic went for winners on almost every point. But it was Federer who got the key points when they mattered in the third set.''It's hard to fire bullets the whole time, so you try to also find some range. If he tees off first, it's hard to defend obviously,'' said Federer, now 1-0 against Djokovic on grass. ''It's just not as easy to take that many balls out and come up with amazing shots time and time again. That's why I kept on attacking.''At 4-4, Djokovic had his chance with only his third break point of the match. Federer held with three service winners.Moments later, while serving to stay in the set — and, essentially, the match— Djokovic gifted Federer a pair of break points by blasting an overhead long with much of the court open. He saved one, but Federer's overhead smash on the second gave the Swiss great the third set, and put him on the way to the final.''(I) had unfortunately a bad service game on 5-4, and obviously he uses his opportunities when they're presented,'' said Djokovic, who had reached the last four major finals. ''So you have to be always consistent. I wasn't.''The win improved Federer's semifinal record at the All England Club to 8-0. His only loss in the final came in 2008, when Rafael Nadal beat him 9-7 in the fifth set.''I hope I can keep my nerves,'' said Federer, looking toward the final. ''I'm sure I can. Then hopefully win the match. But we'll see about that.''Murray got off to a fast start, serving well and winning the first two sets easily. And after losing the second, he hung on in the fourth, breaking in the final game with a forehand return winner.The 25-year-old Murray was playing in the Wimbledon semifinals for the fourth straight year. Now he made it to that elusive final, and on Sunday he'll be facing an opponent who beat him in straight sets in the 2008 U.S. Open final and the 2010 Australian Open final.In Murray's only other major final, the 2011 Australian Open, he lost to Djokovic — again in straight sets.
