Bracket Guide

Murray's first trip to a Wimbledon final was much easier than could have been anticipated. Yes, he had to beat an extremely game and fifth-seeded Jo-Wilfired Tsonga to get there, but that was the point of the bracket where he could have been playing Rafael Nadal. That is not typically a matchup that goes Murray's way. 

This is not to take anything away from Murray. He has been playing fantastic and his trip to the final is well-deserved. Still, he is going to be a big underdog here. 

Roger Federer had an easy early bracket, but that put him on a collision course with defending champion Novak Djokovic. 

The interesting thing here is that Nole gave Fed less reason for worry than Tsonga gave Murray. Both matches went just four sets and Djokovic and Tsonga both won 6-3 in the set they claimed, but at least Tsonga was able to force Murray to win seven games in the closing set. 

Final Preview

Federer and Murray have met plenty of times over the course of their careers. In 15 head-to-head matchups, Murray actually has the edge in eight of them. None of their previous matchups have come on grass, though. 

They have met just once this year. That came in Dubai where Fed won easily, 7-5, 6-4. 

This match should be more of the same from Federer. Federer just looked too good while making Djokovic look not just mortal, but completely beatable. 

Federer is serving the ball better than ever, and his ground strokes are on point. This is going to allow him to control the flow of this match and dictate that action.That will lead to him claiming his seventh Wimbledon.
