    Philip West: If Federer is going to win this title, he’ll have serve like never before, try to keep the points short, and try and keep Djokovic off balance with slices. If it turns into a slugfest from the baseline, Djokovic will win.

    Vinod: Usually I’m a huge Novak fan but this year Federer is looking better. Records and rankings don’t matter much! On the day of the game, the best player wins. We hope there’ll be a great match!

    Djokovic v Federer

    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is among those at Wimbledon today and has been speaking on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra:

    "It's the first time for me here and I'm very excited. The final is a top one with two amazing players so I'm looking forward to it.

    "I watch a lot of tennis, I saw the semi-final with Roger and Rafa and watched with some of the Spanish boys who were cheering Rafa and I was cheering Roger.

    "I think it is going to be quite special. I think it's very nice to be this close and to see everything. I'm so excited. Both are amazing players with their own qualities. If Roger wins maybe he might stop soon so Novak will have the chance to win some more."

    Defending champion? Top seed? World number one? Tournament favourite?

    Novak Djokovic had all the same credentials that he does today, when he came into the 2012 Wimbledon semi-final against Roger Federer.

    But he was dispatched 6-3 3-6 6-4 6-3 by the Swiss.

    Who then went on to make Andy Murray cry on Centre Court in the final. What a cad.

    The indomitable or the imperial?

    Meet Raashid and Shreya. Can you tell who they are supporting today?

    They are MASSIVE Roger Federer fans, and have tickets for today’s final after seven years of trying.

    “He’s just amazing. His brand of tennis is effortless,” they say.

    “If you had to design the perfect tennis player, you would design Roger from scratch.”

    We had a look at the incredible global devotion that Roger Federer inspires back in 2015. Safe to say he is still as popular as ever.

    Being in the the top three, Roger and Novak obviously play a lot during the years but they'll remember the last time they faced each other here.

    Players play a lot harder at Wimbledon. Their head-to-head record here will mean more to them than anywhere.

    Novak Djokovic had been without a Grand Slam title for 18 months when he strode on court for the 2014 Wimbledon final.

    Federer had last tasted big-four success at Wimbledon in 2012.

    It was the younger man who prevailed 6-7 (7-9) 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 5-7 6-4 as Djokovic let championship point slip in the fourth set before getting the job done in five.

    He then headed into the stands to celebrate with then-coach Boris Becker.

    These two have met at Wimbledon three times previously, most recently in two finals.

    Back in 2015, Novak Djokovic added some Centre Court grass to his diet of donkey cheese and kale , externalas he came on strong to win 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (10-12) 6-4 6-3.

    "I had my chances in the first set. I got lucky to win the second, had chances in the third," said a rather rueful Federer.

    "But he was better on the bigger points. He was rock solid, I didn't play badly myself. That's how it goes."

    Meanwhile Novak Djokovic was getting his boogy on at the Champions Dinner.
