Roger Federer will be looking to smash the record of 14 Grand Slam wins set by Pete Sampras, when he takes on Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final on July 5 (14:00 Start) and you can watch all the action from centre court live at Bet 365.
The fact that the Swiss ace is 1/10 (Bet 365) to win his sixth Wimbledon title speaks volumes about his class, and he will be looking to continue his dominance over Andy Roddick whom he beat in the final back in 2004 and 2005. Federer has breezed through the tournament almost without breaking sweat, so he should be as fresh as ever for this showdown.
It was Britain’s Andy Murray who was tipped to be the man to stand in the way of Federer’s record breaking Slam, however World No.6 Andy Roddick fully deserves to be in the final, firstly after overcoming an excellent Lleyton Hewitt in a five set thriller, before dispatching of Murray with some wonderful Tennis - fuelled by tactical changes which for almost the first time stopped Andy Roddick from being a one-dimensional player.
Roddick’s problem in the past has been that he has not adapted his game tactically to beat certain players, and has instead relied too heavily on his service. Against Murray, Roddick showed a different side to his game, and he will have to do something similar if he is to cause Federer any problems.
Roddick by contrast is a huge 6/1 underdog for the Wimbledon final, however he was a 33/1 shot at the beginning of the tournament. The American seems to be in a really positive frame of mind this year, and the pressure will all be on the Swiss star, meaning that this final could be close.
