It's the Swiss vs the Serb on Centre Court as two of the best players of all time collide for the prestigious Grand Slam
It's for the most prestigious Grand Slam of the Year - Wimbledon. And, two of the best players of all-time, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, will face each other for the trophy.

Federer, who got to this point by masterfully dispatching Andy Murray on Friday, will have a shot at winning his eighth Wimbledon championship. For Djokovic, who beat Richard Gasquet on Friday, he has a chance to repeat as the champion of Wimbledon and he could secure his second Grand Slam title of this year.
The pair have met in 39 competitive games, and it couldn't be closer.
If Federer wins, this is what he'll accomplish:
18 Grand Slam titles in his career
8 Wimbledon titles in his career
His first Grand Slam title since 2012
His 17 Grand Slam titles are already a record and his seven Wimbledon titles are tied for the most ever, but Federer could add to his history with a win on Sunday. Furthermore, if he wins, he'll be a Wimbledon champion at age 33 -- that's pretty astounding.

Federer has the very slight edge, winning 20 games to Djokovic's 19.
However, the Serb has won three of their last four meetings including last year's Wimbledon victory.

If Djokovic wins, this is what he'll accomplish:
9 Grand Slam titles in his career
3 Wimbledon titles in his career
Back-to-back Wimbledon champion
Second Grand Slam title in 2015
So, Djokovic isn't as far along in the record books as Federer is, but those would be some pretty impressive accomplishments to seize. Especially considering he did so during the golden era of tennis.
