As others here have already predicted, I'm going with Federer in four sets.

That being said, I've got nothing against Federer, but I'll definitely be pulling for Roddick, 'cause I like him and I like an underdog. I think he's playing the best he's played in a long time, maybe the best he's ever played - but it's really tough to bet against arguably the greatest player that the game has ever seen.

Doesn't look like Sampras has made it to the final but I'm sure he will be watching.

UPDATE

Hang on Borg thinks hes coming, wow that would be great!

They must know but they are not letting on for sure so I think maybe, hopefully, watch this space!

BBC are saying Sampras is on his way. Great to see Rod Laver there, another of the all time greats.

Come on Roger!

Not yet but I'm still hoping. Plus there are 2 empty seats next to Laver, Borg and Santana on the front row of the royal box. Maybe for Pete and his wife?

Federer has come in twice, and got passed twice, not good for him.

Make that three for three on passing shots from Roddick, two were from the backhand

Roddick has made a good start, a couple of great backhand passes but Fed looks calm and collected as usual.

Roger maybe feeling he doesn't have to do much with the approach against Roddick, but Andy has other ideas today.
