<p>When Andy Murray jumped out to an early lead on Federer by winning the first set of the WImbledon Final, the British crowd thought they were on the verge of witnessing their hometown hero on to victory. Then Roger Federer happened, the rain came, and Roger Federer happened some more for Wimbledon title number seven.</p>
<p>After dropping the first set, Federer took just 40 minutes in the second set to beat Murray 7-5. Then the rain came after the first game in the third. Wimbledon officials closed the center-court roof and invoked a 40-minute rain delay. Once play resumed in the third set, Federer calmed down and relaxed to win the third set over Murray for a 6-3 third-set victory and Federer was one set away from another Wimbledon title.</p>
<p>In the fourth set, both Federer and Murray traded game winners as both were on the fringe of victory and defeat. Federer stayed one step ahead of Murray and with crafty play and playing mistake-free tennis was able to gain the advantage. Even with the home crowd vocally supporting Murray's final chances, Federer stood tall and with a 6-4 set win he now owns the record for most Wimbledon titles in Tennis history with seven.</p>

<p>As if the tension wasn’t already at a fevered pitch in the 2012 Wimbledon men’s singles final match between Andy Murray and Roger Federer. Now fans will have to wait even longer to find out the winner given the inclement weather that has affected play at All England.</p>
<p>Murray is trying to make good on being the first Brit in the men’s final since 1938. Federer is, well, just being Federer, arguably the best men’s tennis player of all time. For now, both will have to wait on rains that halted the match.</p>
<p><a target="new" href="http://www.sbnation.com/tennis/2012/7/8/3144774/federer-vs-murray-2012-wimbledon-scores-results">SB Nation’s Nick Fasuro writes</a>, “Through one game in the third set, rain has temporarily delayed the match, with Federer leading Murray 1-0. The players have currently left the court and returned to the locker room while maintenance crews cover Center Court with a tarp. Officials expect a 15 minute delay and, because of that projected time period, will likely not close the roof as that would take much longer.”</p>

<p>Serena Williams took care of business yesterday. Today Roger Federer and Andy Murray try to do the same. It should be an incredible match in terms of fan participation and interest given that Murray is the first British man in the singles final since 1938. That should make All England come alive, especially in the early going. </p>
<p>Federer is an all-world player who needs no introduction. A win this year at Wimbledon would be his 7th at Wimbledon at his 17th Grand Slam title overall in his career. He's already among the best men who've ever played the game, so at this point, everything is bonus. </p>

Then she gave it up. But the gritty determination and experience of success in the past gave Williams the leg up as she headed into the third and final set against Agnieszka Radwanska in the 2012 Wimbledon's Women's Singles Final. She ended up winning the final set for an overall 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 victory.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 14.44444465637207px; vertical-align: bottom; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">Williams took the first set 6-1. Radwanska came back and won the second set 7-5 after being down early to Williams. Radwanska had never advances past the quarterfinals in six previous appearances at Wimbledon. This is, in fact, her first finals appearance in any Grand Slam event.</p>

She's won five Wimbledon titles to this point in 2002, 2003, 2009, 2010 and now this year. She's won 3 U.S. Open titles, 2 French Open titles and 5 Australian Open titles. In short, she's a complete player for the last decade who is still able to defeat the best in the world after several years on the tour. </p>

<p>After blazing through the first set against Agnieszka Radwanska in the 2012 Wimbledon Women's Single Final match, Serena Williams allowed her opponent to come back and now the two women, seeded third and sixth respectively, are tied and heading to a decisive third set.</p>
<p>It's been a compelling match since the second set, and Radwanska actually seems in complete control nearing the end of the second set. Williams must shift her focus and get a ground game going to stop the momentum.</p>
<p>Williams took the first set 6-1. Radwanska came back and won the second set 7-5 after being down early to Williams. Radwanska had never advances past the quarterfinals in six previous appearances at Wimbledon. This is, in fact, her first finals appearance in any Grand Slam event.</p>

<p>Andy Murray will meet Roger Federer in the gentlemen's final of Wimbledon Sunday after an impressive four-set semifinal victory over Jo-Wilifried Tsonga. Murray defeated Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 to put the home crowd in full roar as he became the first Brit to advance to the finals since Bunny Austin in 1938. Murray came right out of the gate and went up a break on Tsonga, riding his hot play to a quick two-set advantage. But the Frenchman battled back to take the third set and then, down a break in the fourth, he evened things up at 3-3 and made it quite tense at the All-England Club. But the Scot finished him off, 7-5, winning the match point on a shot that was initially ruled wide but overturned on review -- letting the crowd resume their uproarious cheers.</p>
<p>Already ending one drought, Murray will now have a shot to become the first British winner of Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936. But he will have his hands full with perhaps the greatest grass court player in the history of the game. Roger Federer is making his record eighth appearance in the Wimbledon final and has a shot at his seventh title. Murray, on the other hand, is 0-3 in major finals but is 8-7 all time against Federer (all coming on hard courts).</p>

<p>It wasn't one for the ages, but Roger Federer will still take it - the seven-time Wimbledon champion will advance to the 2012 Finals in hopes of his eighth championship at the event after defeating defending champion Novak Djokovic in four sets Friday morning at Centre Court of the All England Club.</p>
<p>There was little doubt of Federer's win after the pair split the opening sets. A seemingly confused Djokovic managed to win the second set, but that would be his only lead on the day. The defending champion faulted several times with balls hit into the net, and grew visibly angry with his play after the second set. Federer seemed to coast through most of the match, winning by a final score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.</p>
<p>Federer, advancing to the final for the first time since beating Andy Roddick in 2009, now waits for his finals opponent - He will play the winner of Friday's afternoon match between No. 4 Andy Murray and No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.</p>
