Why it Matters
The men's final at Wimbledon is not just another match: It has history on the line for both sides.
Federer looks to capture his seventh Wimbledon title, which would tie him for the most in history. After his rival, Rafael Nadal, won his seventh title at the French Open (the most all-time), Federer looks to match him with another title in London.
Murray, on the other hand, looks to make history. No Brit has won it all at Wimbledon since 1936, when Fred Perry dominated en route to a title. A Scot, Murray looks to change that, and win his first Grand Slam event of his career.
It would also be the first Grand Slam not to be won by one of tennis' big three of Novak Djokovic, Nadal and Federer since the 2009 US Open.
These two both have history on the line. While Federer is considered a much better player, he has not proved it against his Scottish counterpart. Murray actually leads the all-time series 8-7, despite losing the last two matches.
These two will put on a show, and with so much on the line, this is must-watch tennis.

Prediction
Roger Federer's reemergence on grass looks to be for real. He used to be the best player in the world on grass, but he has slipped in recent years. However, after beating No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, Fed looks unstoppable. Not even Murray, who has beaten No. 7 David Ferrer and No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, can stop him.
Final Score: Federer wins in four sets.
