Roger Federer awaits Murray in the final with the Swiss phenomenon hoping to get back to grand slam winning ways. Can Murray go that extra step and actually win this tournament?
Federer has come from the brink of being eliminated in the third round to breezing through his remaining ties, even in his semi- final against defending champion and world number one, Novak Djokavic.
Murray's road to the final has been a lot more Straight forward. His opening game against the ageing Davydenko was a breeze. His rain affected match against Cilic had the potential to cause problems but when the rain eased up, Murray did not.
Ferrer and Tsonga are two world class players getting stronger and stronger with every tournament. Whilst there were some worrying moments for Murray in both ties, the British number one was able to take the standard to another level. He out-powered Spaniard Ferrer and made a mockery out of Tsonga's second serve.
Federer and Murray have been the two best players of the tournament and more than deserve their final spot. But who will walk away with the glory?
Federer knows what it takes to win a grand slam, Murray has yet to achieve that feat. Federer has Wimbledon final experience, and a lot of it, Murray does not.
There is obvious pressure on both players, Federer to break his Wimbledon title drought and get back on track to equalling the Sampras record of seven Wimbledon titles. And Murray.....well do I need to explain?
Millions of people across Britain will be glued to their televisions in the hope that Andy Murray can win his first grand slam title. The pressure on him to get the final is now over, it caused celebrations across the country and Murray must be feeling extremely proud. What comes next is not expectation but belief and hope that one man can unite a whole nation through the means of an incredible sporting achievement. Wimbledon 2012 will always be remembered as the year Andy Murray took a step up, but how big will that step be?
