This is it. 2009 Wimbledon Finals is here.

It’s Roger Federer against Andy Roddick in the Men’s Final this Sunday July 5. While it’s an all Williams in Wimbledon 2009 Womens Finals this Saturday July 4.

As it is, No. 2 Roger Federer’s overwhelming 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-3 victory over No. 24 Tommy Haas of Germany in Friday’s opening semifinal match on Centre Court put the Swiss star in a seventh (7th) consecutive Wimbledon final title match and a record 20th career Grand Slam final. Federer is 20-3 in major semis over his career, reaching 16 of the past 17 major finals.

And now, after years of chasing Pistol Pete Sampras, Federer is poised to surpass him. A victory over No. 6-seeded Andy Roddick of the United States in Sunday’s final at the All England Club would give Federer his 15th Grand Slam singles championship, breaking a tie with Sampras for the most in history. It also would give Federer a sixth Wimbledon title and a return to No. 1 in the rankings.

“I’m very proud of all the records I’ve achieved, because I never thought I would be that successful as a kid. You know, I would have been happy winning a couple tournaments and maybe collecting Wimbledon,” the 27-year-old Federer said. “It’s quite staggering.”

The 23-year-old American No. 6 Andy Roddick celebrated rather emotionally after defeating No. 3 Andy Murray of Britain 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (5) in Friday’s second semifinal match. The 2003 U.S. Open champion Roddick, still seeking a second major title, dropped to his knees, leaned forward and covered his head with his hands after finishing off Murray. This is his third Wimbledon final appearance.

“To be honest, the last couple of years, I didn’t know if I’d ever get a chance to play for another Grand Slam title,” Roddick said. “Now I get to. It’s just a dream.”

In the Women’s opening Semifinals match, Serena Williams showed her fight Friday, saving a match point against Elena Dementieva before winning 6-7 (4), 7-5, 8-6. The match, longer by time than any Wimbledon women’s semifinal or final on record, was one of the most exciting of this year’s tournament.

The 29-year-old No. 3 Venus Williams reached her eighth (8th) final at the Wimbledon All England Club by defeating top-ranked Dinara Safina 6-1, 6-0 in less 60 minutes. Besides having won five Wimbledon singles titles, beating Serena in last year’s final, Venus is trying to become the first woman to win three straight championships since Steffi Graf from 1991-93.

But even though Serena beat Venus in the 2002 and ’03 Wimbledon singles finals, she already feels like the underdog against a player trying to win her sixth Venus Rosewater Dish.

“I feel like going into this final I have nothing to lose,” said Serena, who is 27 years old, two years younger than Venus. “I feel like obviously she’s playing the best tennis at this tournament.”
