With his entry into the final, Federer has become the second oldest player in the history of Wimbledon to enter into the final after Ken Rosewall (1974), who was 39-year-old at that time.

Rosewall had suffered a defeat in the final at the hands of Jimmy Connors, but Roger Federer is being considered the stronger contender for the title this year.
