Fresh from winning a mesmerising 40th instalment of his old rivalry with Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer is now just one victory from a ninth Wimbledon title and a record extending 21st Grand Slam crown.

Unfortunately for the 37-year-old wonder, but of no surprise whatsoever, current world number one and defending champion Novak Djokovic is standing in his way with his own relentlessly ambitious sights set on moving to within four Grand Slams of the GOAT - and two of Nadal - with his fifth trophy at SW19.

This will be their 48th battle, 13 years after their first, and while Djokovic has come out on top in 25 of them, he's also won both of their Wimbledon finals in 2014 and 2015 although Federer did beat him in the only other SW19 clash - the last-four showdown of his triumphant 2012.

Following two years in the doldrums, relatively speaking of course, the 32-year-old Serbian won three slams in a row before his semi-final defeat to Dominic Thiem at this year's French Open while this time 12 months ago he easily brushed aside the energy-sapped Kevin Anderson, who had previously come through two titanic five-setters with Federer and John Isner.

This should be a far closer contest as Swiss legend Federer, still looking as majestic as ever, continues to defy father time since ending a five-year Grand Slam drought to win his 18th at the 2017 Australian Open - although his 2018 triumph in Melbourne is his most recent.

Ahead of Sunday's clash on Centre Court, which gets under way at 2pm and is live on BBC One, we look at the tale of the tape, their career statistics, Grand Slam records, head-to-head records, routes to the final with highlights, the latest odds, as well as what both players are saying.

Does anyone want Djokovic to win?

Sounds a bit of a harsh question but there are precious few players who earn the crowd support when up against the love in for Roger.

Djokovic has never enjoyed the same kind of adulation of Federer or Nadal despite his own incredible achievements but he didn't help himself against Roberto Bautista Agut in the semi-finals - ironically throwing his hands up when they cheered the Spaniard winning the second set, shushing them by putting his finger against his lips before cupping his ear after winning a 45-shot rally on break point.

Our poll highlights just how few people want him to stop Federer getting his hands on the Wimbledon trophy once again.

Djokovic v Federer: Player Quotes

Novak Djokovic

On the lack of crowd support v Federer: "Look, I am focused on what I need to do. At times they wanted him to come back to the match, maybe take a lead because he was an underdog in the match. I understand that. But I had enough support here over the years, so I don't complain.

"It won't be the first time playing against Nadal nor Federer on the Centre Court. I've had that experience more than once. As I said, I know what to expect. I'm going to go out there and fight and give it all. It's finals of Wimbledon.

On the challenge: "This is the kind of a match that I always dreamt of as a young boy with the tennis racket, dreamt of being part of. This is what I worked for. I wanted to be in this position.

"I have a chance to fight for a trophy. Regardless of who's across the net or what is happening around, I'll definitely give it all."

Roger Federer

On beating Rafael Nadal: It's always very, very cool to play against Rafa here, especially (when we) haven't played in so long. It lived up to the hype, especially from coming out of the gates, we were both playing very well. Then the climax at the end with the crazy last game, some tough rallies there. It had everything at the end, which was great, I guess. I'm just relieved it's all over at this point.

"But it's definitely going to go down as one of my favourite matches to look back at, because it's Rafa, it's at Wimbledon, the crowds were into it, great weather. I felt like I played good also throughout the four sets. I can be very happy."

Is age a factor: "Age kicks in. I know it's not over yet. There's no point to start partying tonight or get too emotional, too happy about it, even though I am extremely happy.

"I think I can, with experience, really separate the two. If it was the end of the tournament, it would be very different right now. I'd be speaking very different, feeling very different. There is, unfortunately or fortunately, one more.

"It's great on many levels. But I've got to put my head down and stay focused."
