Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe set the bar for men's tennis when they met in back-to-back Wimbledon finals in 1980 and '81.

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are ready to move into the Borg-McEnroe neighborhood as they prepare to meet in their second consecutive Wimbledon final. The two tennis masters are at the top of their game right now as Federer goes for his eighth All-England Tennis championship, while Djokovic attempts to win his second in a row and third overall.

Djokovic defeated Federer in five sets last year, and this match figures to be tight as well. Federer has lost just one set during the fortnight, while Djokovic has won five of his previous six matches in straight sets. However, he was extended to five sets in the fourth round by South African Kevin Anderson.

Djokovic and Federer are already tennis immortals, and the winner of this match will enhance his status even further.

No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 2 Roger Federer

Federer, 33, advanced to the finals when he defeated Andy Murray in straight sets, and the key to his success was his sharp serving.

If he is going to come up with the victory over Djokovic, he must continue to serve at a high level. Federer put 76 of his first-serve attempts into play against Murray, and he won 58 of those points for an off-the-charts 84 percent success ratio.ย

Federer has served brilliantly throughout the tournament, and there's no reason to think that he won't continue to serve at a very high level.

Djokovic, 28, knows he must be prepared. In his semifinal win over Richard Gasquet, Djokovic took advantage of an opponent who did not serve effectively. Gasquet connected on 58-of-113 first serves, and that allowed Djokovic to dictate the pace of the match. He was able to step in on Gasquet's second serve and hammer that back at him.

That is unlikely to happen against Federer's first serve. Djokovic has to be prepared to beat Federer at his best, and that may be the most difficult task in tennis.
