...
It's Roger Federer's ELEVENTH Wimbledon final.

At 35 years old.
...
Friendly reminder - This is yet another straight sets for Roger Federer, who continues to the FINALS of Wimbledon without dropping a set.
...
Roger Federer beats Tomas Berdych 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 and is now one match away from his record EIGHTH Wimbledon title.
...
GAME, SET AND MATCH ROGER FEDERER!!!
...
Second match point now.
...
He's raced to 40-0 now has Roger Federer... and he faults! 
...
Federer serves for the match.
...
But let's not forget two-sets-to-love and now looking right in the face of a semi-final defeat Tomas Berdych. I'm not writing anything off here as Federer serves for the match, and he holds 4-5.
...
Sure looks like it from where I'm sitting. It has to be superhuman to follow up a break with a love hold when you're sniffling and sneezing and facing (the familiar, agreed) pressure of staring down the barrel at a Wimbledon final.

Even if you're winning, and even if you're Federer.

But that's a love hold. 5-3 to Roger Federer in the third. 
...
FEDERER WITH THE BREAK!!! 4-3 now courtesy a couple of errors from Berdych. One shot into the net and then an unreturnable Federer backhand.

Surely this is it?
...
Can you imagine coming back from trailing 15-40? 

Federer can. And he succeeds. 


...
TWO ACES? Wow. At a time like this for anyone, that is brilliant. But Roger Federer isn't just anyone. 

Just like that. Two aces to take 40-15 to Game Federer in that deep booming voice.

3-3 now in the third set.
...
Federer threatens a bit with that break - almost playing it like match point, and indeed a break then might well have sealed it quick for the Swiss. But his feathers are ruffled and you can see it. 

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is watching as scores go  3-2.
...
Federer is constantly sneezing into his tissues. Let's remind you it's 6:30 pm in London. About 20 degrees Celsius and while it's not rainy it's certainly got clouds somewhere around. 
...
Easy holds for both players and 2-1 becomes 2-2 quick. But while it's quick for each player, it is NOT quick for others watching.
...
Federer's a bit agitated at missing a couple of easy shots and you can hear it - he makes quite sure of that. 
...
Federer is one set away from the Wimbledon finals. But you can be sure Berdych isn't making it easy at all. 
...
...
If you love tennis and weren't a Berdych fan, you should be now. Some great play from the Czech to run, hit, return, and we thought that forehand was going into the stands.

It actually landed in. 

Colour me impressed, for one. 
...
A good body serve from Berdych and Federer bums a bh return. An attempted one, rather. Berdych holds to 15 with a great thwacking forehand.

1-0 to Berdych in the third set.
...
Berdych opens serve in the third set. It's a must-win set for him and he knows it.
...
6-4.. and now 7-4 and Federer wins the second set! 

This is looking a bit tough for Berdych then! 

Roger Federer is up 7-6, 7-6 on Tomas Berdych. He has never beaten Federer down two sets to love.
...
Wow. 3-1.

4-1. 

5-1.

He's scoring points faster than I'm typing, almost, is Roger Federer. Far more in control in this tiebreak. Berdych trying to attack Federer's second serve but it's really not paying the dividends he'd like.

2-5 to Tomas Berdych in the second set tiebreak.
...
Has Federer resigned himself to a TB? Yes he has. Berdych holds and we're headed to a second-set TB! 
...
6-5 to Federer now as again, Berdych serves to stay in the match.
