With the victory, Federer, 33, is the oldest man to reach the Wimbledon final since Ken Rosewall in 1974.

After the game, an elated Federer said: “I’m unbelievably happy. People maybe expected it to go four or five (sets). Me as well”.

After the games Andy Murray said: “All losses hurt obviously, especially in the major everts”.

His opponent, Novak Djokovic, will be playing in his 18th major final. Only Federer, Nadal (20) and Lendl (19) have played in more.

In a press conference after the match, Murray said: “He clearly deserved to win the match. He had more opportunities than me.

“At times I played some very good tennis. I served better than I’ve served in the tournament myself”.
