Federer vs. Murray: Start Time, Live Stream & More

Roger Federer will vie for his record-tying seventh Wimbledon title against Andy Murray on Sunday. Murray will try to become the first British champion since Fred Perry in 1936.

The history attached to this match is reason enough to tune in. Let's see where you can catch all the action.

Each player has played very well up to this point. Federer handled Novak Djokovic with relative ease in the semifinals, and Murray didn't receive a stiff challenge from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. 

There is history between these two. Murray leads their all-time series 8-7, but Federer has gotten the better of him lately by winning two in a row. In their two Grand Slam final meetings, Federer is 2-0.

Let's take a look at two keys to the outcome of this clash between two excellent competitors.

Respect the Moment

Murray just can't get over the hump. He's earned five berths to a Grand Slam final or semifinal, but he's never claimed a Grand Slam crown. When you're playing a guy like Federer who has 16 career Grand Slam titles, you must respect the difference.

There's a difference between fearing the moment and respecting it. Murray can't back down. He must believe in his ability to knock off "FedEx", but he also knows what disappointment tastes like.

Respecting the moment requires Murray to think about those losses a little bit. He must learn from those previous mistakes and realize that one small error can turn the tide against arguably the greatest grass court player of all-time.

Federer must also respect what's at hand, but in a different way. He's on the verge of history. If he wins, he ties Pete Sampras for the most Wimbledon titles ever. That's no small feat and is the crown jewel of his individual accomplishments.

Both players are entering a major moment in their careers, and they must approach it appropriately.

Don't Get Down

I don't mean don't lose the lead. That should be obvious. This key goes specifically for Murray, but Federer could face it as well.

In the semifinals, Federer beat Djokovic handily. By the end of the match, Djokovic didn't even seem like he wanted to be out there. Federer had an answer for everything he did.

Murray must avoid that in the finals. He must keep his head up and push through any tribulations he may face against Federer.

Federer could face this as well. Despite his modesty Sampras' record has to be on his brain. He can't put his head down if he faces an early hiccup or two.

Tennis is a mental and physical sport. Singles players are on their own island and must find a way to keep themselves focused on the task at hand. Djokovic allowed himself to get distracted, down and rattled by Federer's nearly flawless play.

If Federer brings it again (and he will), Murray must be ready to fight through it.
