Roger FedererRafael Nadal

Well here we have it, the final everybody has been wanting (again) Federer v Nadal the Wimbledon rematch.

Nadal has looked simply sensational on his route to the final, just dropping one set to the talented youngster Gulbis in the second round. On the other side of the draw, Federer has looked irresistible, not dropping a single set and looking right back at home on the grass he so loves.

But who will come out on top in the 18th meeting of these two? If Nadal improves on his performance last year where he lost so narrowly in a five set thriller, he could well become the first man to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year since Bjorn Borg.

However, something tells me Roger Federer wants this more than ever, and my advice would be to back the Swiss to win in four or five sets.
