London, UK
July 03, 2009 

World No. 2 Roger Federer entered his seventh straight final at the Wimbledon beating Tommy Haas 7-6(3), 7-5, 6-3. Federer who won the Wimbledon title five consecutive times was the finalist last year where he lost to Rafael Nadal in an epic final.

Delivering a masterful performance, Federer on his favorite surface took advantage of his break-points chances to end Tommy Haas' run at this year Wimbledon. Federer won the first set in a tie-break, and followed up with some excellent tennis in the second and third sets. In a match that lasted just over two hours, Federer never faced a breakpoint to beat Haas for the ninth straight time.

Roger Federer will play Andy Roddick in his record 20th Grand Slam final. Roddick beat local favorite Andy Murray in four sets 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(9-7), 7-6(7-5).

Roger Federer quotes
"Tommy played great so I knew that there was a danger from him. I'm happy with my performance and it's unbelievable to be in another final."
"I have had a lot of pressure over the years but I am looking forward to another great match and a chance to get into the history books."
"I'm very proud of all the records I've achieved because I never thought I would be that successful as a kid,"
"I would have been happy winning a couple tournaments and maybe collecting Wimbledon. It's quite staggering now having reached ... my sixth straight Grand Slam final. Having so many things going for me now again, opportunity again on Sunday, it’s fantastic."
