It flies directly in the face of the next era knocking on the door, but Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will take Centre Court in London on Sunday for perhaps their last marquee dance.

In a season that has been ripe with new faces and plenty of upsets, the legendary rivals have appeared somewhat as a lighthouse on the misty shore for the old guard, wrapping up their two weeks in London in the semifinals with wins over leaders of the next generation.

For Federer, his 25th Grand Slam final and record No. 9 at Wimbledon—making him the oldest Grand Slam finalist since Andre Agassi at the 2005 U.S. Open—presents an opportunity both to vanquish an old foe and rewrite the history books with a record eighth triumph in London.

Djokovic's aspirations may not be as Hollywood-worthy, but a chance to regain the No. 1 spot in the world and hoist his first Grand Slam trophy since January 2013 is a noble pursuit.

As it should be, the final day at Wimbledon has the makings of a classic.

Men's Final Preview



On paper, this sure-to-be legendary matchup at one of the sport's key cornerstones looks rather easy to figure out.

Simply put, Djokovic has looked but a shell of his usually dominant self, slipping and sliding every which way on the grass, while Federer has looked like a version of himself from six years ago, having dispatched of any and all comers with relative ease.

For Djokovic, lapses against inferior competition—at this stage of their career, at least—has provided a bit of a warning sign. Against 25-year-old Marin Cilic in the quarterfinals, Djokovic took his foot off the pedal, which in turn allowed the match to hit the five-set mark (6-1, 3-6, 6-7, 6-2, 6-2).
