'Federer should play on'

"Remember US Open 2013, Roger was seeded seven goes out to Robredo. Roger looked bad and a lot of people were writing him off. He should just play as long as he feels happy to."
Novak too strong - Edberg
Roger Federer's coach Stefan Edberg on BBC Sport: "It was a great match out there. Roger made a great comeback, I don't know how he got out of it. In the end Novak was just a little too strong.
"He kept serving well, made a lot of returns. Roger would have needed to serve a little better."

"These great champions always leave you wanting more. Novak was visibly frustrated after the second set. For all the money in the world you couldn't have told me he was going to take the next two sets like that."

"What impressed me was Federer had a fair amount of break points but it was like Novak made a first serve every time. Roger is unbelievable but turning 34.
"Nadal has shown his mortality. Novak is the best player in the world and not a close second. Novak is best player in the world and I don't see that changing."

The moment Djokovic won Wimbledon
Want to hear the guttural roars of a champion, to watch the driving forehand which won Djokovic a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles? Funnily enough, the moment Djokovic won Wimbledon is ready to watch on this website.
"You want to play as well as you can every match. Form in the first week is overrated, then it's based on match-ups. The reasons Federer's numbers were down today was Novak Djokovic cause and effect... He causes you to play above yourself and that had an effect on Roger."

"Roger Federer has always had an incredible perspective on his game and his career. Because of his performance in the semi-final when he played, for me, as good as tennis as he has ever played, his expectation would have been to lift an 18th Grand Slam title. It did not work out for him but his focus will now be on the US Open."

"Djokovic did not play particularly well in the first week but the big turning point was against Anderson.
"That was when you felt he had put the hangover of the French Open behind him and was ready to focus on this tournament."

"The first serve was going to be vital. You have to look at the numbers and how good he has been. Federer's percentage has been at 67% and he'd won 82% of those points. Today Djokovic was able to restrict him to 74%. On the second serve Djokovic was able to win half the points. That's a huge difference."

"No he doesn't. We will have a glass of beer or a glass of wine. It has been a long run, ever since we started working together it took some time to understand each other. He is German, I am Serbian, a significant difference. We managed to find the right chemistry. This is his trophy as much as mine."

"But he was better on the bigger points. He was rock solid, I didn't play badly myself. That's how it goes.
"I work very hard, so do the other guys, I have a great team behind me. Without them it would not be possible. I am still very hungry and motivated. A privilege to play here, again. I would have loved to win but Novak was very good."

Federer's returns are loose, although the Serb offers his opponent hope and Federer drags himself to 40-30.
But this is brutal serving from the Serb - ace - and Federer now drinking in the last chance saloon.
"It looks like Roger is being ground down. It is a very good match, and I don't think Federer has done an awful lot wrong, but there are just so little margins. A couple of errors and he's down two sets to one and a break."

*Djokovic 1-2 Federer
These finalists setting new limits. Federer with a smash, a dinky forehand at an impossible angle... Djokovic with a thunderclap of a backhand winner. 30-30, pulses already racing. Djokovic looks skywards as a forehand balloons long. He had Federer in a baseline rally but Federer off the hook.

2014 Wimbledon
Roger Federer was aiming for many of the milestones that he has in his sights to day: a record eighth title, the oldest Wimbledon winner in modern times, an 18th Grand Slam.
After losing his last three major finals, Novak Djokovic was aiming to end an 18-month spell without a Grand Slam title.
It was the Serb that scratched his itch, coming through 6-7 (7-9) 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 5-7 6-4 after letting a first Championship point slip in the fourth set.

After winning the first set so comfortably, Britain's Jordanne Whiley and Yui Kamiji aren't having it their own way on court 16 and have dropped serve twice. There have been some superb rallies, though, in what has been a very topsy-turvy second set. It's well poised at 4-4 currently.
Edberg v Becker reloaded
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker contested three consecutive finals between 1988 and 1990, with Edberg winning two.
Today they will be in opposing player boxes.
Ederg paired up with Federer in 2014 and is credited with bringing a little old-school serve-volley into the old maestro.
Becker linked with Djokovic in late 2013 and under his guidance the Serb has risen to number one in the world, won another two Grand Slam titles, and finished runner-up in another three.
"Everyone was looking at Rafa before the tournament as maybe being able to do something again this year, but what happened there was the first match at this year's Wimbledon which was really must-see TV - a match that once you started watching it, you could not get away from it. That was the big story of the first week."

"When he goes out there, I will just say: 'win the match'."

Djokovic's place in history
Andy Roddick
Former world number one on BBC Radio 5 live
"Is Novak underappreciated? Looking at the history and context of the game, he already has eight Grand Slam titles. That's the same number as Connors and Agassi. He's got one more than the BBC's own John McEnroe.

However a wrist injury sustained in the run-up to the 2014 Australian Open kept her out of action for 18 months.
Drawn against Russian world number 101 Evgeniya Rodina, Robson lost 6-4 6-4. But just to be back playing at all was a start.

So how did Wimbledon 2015 go for Britain?
Andy Murray, the 2012 runner-up and 2013 champion, fell in the semi-finals to Roger Federer.
But the first week was encouraging with James Ward and Heather Watson joining Murray in the third round. The last time that three Britons made the last 32 of the singles was in 2002.
Watson and Ward went down to creditable defeats to Serena Williams and Vasek Pospisil respectively.
And there were also impressive first-round wins for compatriots Ajaz Bedene and Liam Broady over Radek Stepanek and Marinko Matosevic.

Does he still get nervous? "Always, especially on Centre Court. There's a different buzz and you can feel the tension."
But he won't be fazed when making calls which could upset Federer or Djokovic. "When I'm on court I'm oblivious to who's on there. I'm just there to call the line and it can be a line anywhere in the world - at my local club tournament or Wimbledon."

"You want to play as well as you can every match. Form in the first week is overrated, then it's based on match-ups. The reasons Federer's numbers were down today was Novak Djokovic cause and effect... He causes you to play above yourself and that had an effect on Roger."

"But he was better on the bigger points. He was rock solid, I didn't play badly myself. That's how it goes.
"I work very hard, so do the other guys, I have a great team behind me. Without them it would not be possible. I am still very hungry and motivated. A privilege to play here, again. I would have loved to win but Novak was very good."

*Djokovic 1-2 Federer
These finalists setting new limits. Federer with a smash, a dinky forehand at an impossible angle... Djokovic with a thunderclap of a backhand winner. 30-30, pulses already racing. Djokovic looks skywards as a forehand balloons long. He had Federer in a baseline rally but Federer off the hook.

Classic encounters
2014 Wimbledon
Roger Federer was aiming for many of the milestones that he has in his sights to day: a record eighth title, the oldest Wimbledon winner in modern times, an 18th Grand Slam.
After losing his last three major finals, Novak Djokovic was aiming to end an 18-month spell without a Grand Slam title.
It was the Serb that scratched his itch, coming through 6-7 (7-9) 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 5-7 6-4 after letting a first Championship point slip in the fourth set.

Edberg v Becker reloaded
Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker contested three consecutive finals between 1988 and 1990, with Edberg winning two.
Today they will be in opposing player boxes.
Ederg paired up with Federer in 2014 and is credited with bringing a little old-school serve-volley into the old maestro.
Becker linked with Djokovic in late 2013 and under his guidance the Serb has risen to number one in the world, won another two Grand Slam titles, and finished runner-up in another three.

"They were just so engaged and excited about Heather playing so well and the prospect of her possibly taking out the number one player in the world.
"Watson was two points away and that wasn't because Serena gave it to her - Heather was playing the match of her life. I was covering that match for BBC Radio 5 live and it was wonderful to be part of the atmosphere."

Novak Djokovic, his coach Boris Becker and the rest of their team were spotted holding hands earlier this morning and we tried to prise out of Becker what was being said.
"That stays between the team," he said. No surprises there to be fair.

"When he goes out there, I will just say: 'win the match'."

A controversial tournament for...
Last year Nick Kyrgios reached the last eight of Wimbledon as an unseeded teenager, knocking out Rafael Nadal en route.
This year, he chalked up another notable scalp, downing seventh seed Milos Raonic in the third round.
But his run ended in his next match amid controversy. Having already turned the air blue in his previous rounds, the Australian appeared to give up for a game, argued with the umpire over a change of socks and almost hit a spectator with a wayward racquet.

Classic encounters
2007 US Open
"I think I was mentally weaker at the important moments, and he was mentally stronger."
Not something that you would expect to hear from the 2015 version of Novak Djokovic. But as a 20-year-old, after losing his first Grand Slam final to Roger Federer, the Serb offered the damning self-assessment.
He had led by a break in each of the sets, but went down 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.
A few months later, at the 2008 Australian Open, Djokovic lifted his first Grand Slam title.
Wimble-tum
The big question is which sporting event is denying Wimbledon the world catering operation title?
Robson's return
This year's Wimbledon marked a welcome return to Grand Slam action for Laura Robson.
Back in 2013, aged 19, she reached the fourth round at the All England and climbed as high as 27th in the world.
However a wrist injury sustained in the run-up to the 2014 Australian Open kept her out of action for 18 months.
Drawn against Russian world number 101 Evgeniya Rodina, Robson lost 6-4 6-4. But just to be back playing at all was a start.
Beard of the fortnight?
Where were the Brits?
So how did Wimbledon 2015 go for Britain?
Andy Murray, the 2012 runner-up and 2013 champion, fell in the semi-finals to Roger Federer.
But the first week was encouraging with James Ward and Heather Watson joining Murray in the third round. The last time that three Britons made the last 32 of the singles was in 2002.
Watson and Ward went down to creditable defeats to Serena Williams and Vasek Pospisil respectively.
And there were also impressive first-round wins for compatriots Ajaz Bedene and Liam Broady over Radek Stepanek and Marinko Matosevic.

Djokovic huddles up
On match days, Novak Djokovic ends his practice sessions with a kind of mini-huddle, where he and his team touch hands and each one of them in turn whispers something.

Roger Federer is playing in his 10th Wimbledon final - but he's got a few more to go to match line judge Michael Sadler, who is taking part in his 13th consecutive men's final.
Michael faced a nervous wait last night before the all-important email came through confirming he'd got the call.
Does he still get nervous? "Always, especially on Centre Court. There's a different buzz and you can feel the tension."
But he won't be fazed when making calls which could upset Federer or Djokovic. "When I'm on court I'm oblivious to who's on there. I'm just there to call the line and it can be a line anywhere in the world - at my local club tournament or Wimbledon."

Weather update
It has been a muggy morning so far in Wimble-town.
BBC Weather assures us that it will stay mostly dry, with the rain only arriving once play is packed up for the day.
But those jet-black cloud symbols suggest they are hedging their bets slightly.
Softtop final?
If the rain does continue to fall, then the Centre Court roof could add a bit of intrigue into proceedings.
The theory goes that it would favour Roger Federer who has been dominant on serve in this year's championship and acclerated away to victory when the lid was pulled over the 2012 final against Andy Murray.
The Centre Court coverers have just done their thing, dragging the taurpaulin across to keep the main stage dry.
