165. Indisputably, the most competitive and attractive
final this Wimbledon could have is a rematch of
the past two grand slam deciders between Andy
Murray and Novak Djokovic. The series is level
after New York and Melbourne, and there is little
between them in form and fitness after three
matches here, with the Serb perhaps in front of
the Scot.
The 16 players (seven of them unseeded) still
standing in this falling-down contest on the
slippery lawns will all reckon, with varying
degrees of conviction, that they have a chance if
they come through the fourth round, and they are
into the second week on merit.

Serena Williams. A final showdown with red-hot
world No.1 Novak Djokovic is now only three
matches away for Murray.

Wimbledon final in both 1986 and 1987, insisted
returning to the final is not good enough.
