LONDON - For all their time on the worlds biggest tennis stage — Roger Federer in 24 Grand Slam finals and Novak Djokovic in 13 — two of the sports "Big 4"
have met in only one major final: Federer won in straight sets at the 2007 U.
Odell Beckham Jr Giants
Jersey .S. Open. Theyll renew their rivalry in a championship match at
Wimbledon on Sunday and equal a Grand Slam record. Its the 12th time theyve met
in any round of a major, equaling Djokovics duel with Rafael Nadal in majors.
Watch all the action live on TSN and TSN GO, and you can listen to the match on
TSN Radio 1050 in Toronto. Federer leads Djokovic 6-5 in Grand Slams
tournaments, including a win the only time theyve met at Wimbledon — Federer
prevailing in four sets in the 2012 semifinals, the only time theyve met on
grass. The Swiss star holds an 18-16 edge in career matches, although Djokovic
has won three of five matches theyve played since 2013, including this year on
clay at Monte Carlo. Federer is making his first appearance in a Grand Slam
final since he won here in 2012, and has done it emphatically — dropping just
one set in six matches. Here are five other things to know about Sundays match
on Centre Court at the All England Club: TOP RANKING: A victory by Djokovic will
return him to the No. 1 ranking for the first time since September of last year,
taking over from Nadal. Djokovic first rose to No. 1 when he won his only
Wimbledon title in 2011, although he was already guaranteed of securing the top
ranking even before beating Nadal in the final. NOT THIS TIME: Defending
champion Andy Murray, who lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals here, or
Nadal, who was beaten by Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round, had featured in 18
consecutive Grand Slam finals. DOMINATION CONTINUES: The final match-up
guarantees that 36 of the past 38 Grand Slam singles titles have gone to a
member of the Big 4 — Federer, Djokovic, Murray and Nadal. For trivia buffs, the
ones they didnt win: the 2005 French Open (Juan Martin del Potro) and this years
Australian Open (Stan Wawrinka). NOVAK SAYS: "We know each others games. Most of
the matches weve played against each other went the distance, so Im going to be
physically ready and fit. The key against him is trying to not allow him to
dictate too much because he likes to be very aggressive, he likes to come to the
net. Im going to have to be able to get as many returns back in the court and
try to also stay closer to the line, protect the baseline." ROGER SAYS: "We both
like to take charge, especially on quicker courts. He has a wonderful way of
either re-directing or taking the ball early, taking pace from the opponent,
even generating some of his own. Theres not really a safe place you can play
into. Novak can hurt you down the line or cross-court on both sides. Hes really
improved ... his forehand, his serve, his movement clearly is what stands out
the most. I think for me its really important to stay aggressive."

third season in double blue. The 34-year old was magnificent in 2013, throwing
for just under 2,900 yards despite missing eight games, tossing an impressive 21
touchdowns against just two interceptions, completing 66 per cent of his passes
in the process.

apparently, are nothing to fear.DAVIE, Fla. - Heres a list of Miami Dolphins
coaches who never won a game by 37 points or more:Jimmy Johnson. Nick Saban.
Tony Sparano. Dave Wannstedt. Cam Cameron. Todd Bowles. Jim Bates. George
Wilson.Now Joe Philbin has done it. One day after a stunning 37-0 victory over
San Diego, Philbin offered this message: Dont get used to it.We cant anticipate
were going to shut out our next eight opponents, Philbin said Monday. Thats not
real life in the National Football League. And its hard to average 37 points a
game in the NFL over an eight-game stretch. Were going to have to find new ways
to win, and just keep improving.The Dolphins improved to 5-3 with their most
lopsided victory since 1995, when Don Shula was still in charge. That was eight
coaches ago.After 2 1/2 years in Miami, Philbin is at .500 (20-20), his job
future beyond this season still uncertain. But with three consecutive victories,
Philbin is on the verge of a breakthrough, because he has never had a team win
four in a row.A lack of sustained success is one reason Miami hasnt been to the
playoffs since 2008.The Dolphins won three in a row in 2012, Philbins first
season, then lost three in a row. They enjoyed a 3-0 start in 2013, then lost
the next four. They won three in a row last December, then endured a late-season
meltdown and lost their final two games.How will this team handle success?Its a
good question, Philbin said. Its one weve got to answer.The win over San Diego
was an emotional one, with Philbin receiving a game ball from owner Stephen
Ross. The coach missed two days of practice last week to be with his father, who
died Friday, and Philbin will be absent again Tuesday and Wednesday to attend
the funeral.When it comes to the more mundane matter of wins and losses, Philbin
appears to have things headed in the right direction.
Olivier Vernon Youth
Jersey. Were a better team today than we were Oct. 1, or than we were in
September, Philbin said. The challenge every week is to find ways to
improve.Miami is an underdog Sunday at NFC North leader Detroit (6-2), and still
off the radar with many playoff prognosticators. Receiver Mike Wallace said hed
prefer the rest of the league not take note of the latest win.Hopefully not, so
we can do the same thing next week, Wallace said. Hopefully, nobody ever catches
on. Hopefully, people just keep taking us easy, so we come away with wins like
this.The Dolphins look like more than one-game wonders. For the first time since
1997, theyve scored at least 24 points in five consecutive games, according to
STATS. Theyve outscored opponents during that span 153-68. The lone loss during
that stretch came in the final seconds against Green Bay, leaving them one play
from a five-game winning streak.Midway through his third season, Ryan Tannehill
is blossoming at quarterback. He ranks only 28th in the league in yards per
attempt, but over past five games he has completed 68 per cent of his attempts
while averaging 8.2 yards per pass, with a rating of 104.1.Meanwhile, the
defence leads NFL in yards allowed per play, yards allowed per pass and first
downs. Miami ranks second in pass defence, third in total defence and fourth in
rushing.Nows not the time to savour statistics, defensive co-ordinator Kevin
Coyle said.Were only halfway through, he said. You look down the road, weve got
a few dicey ones on the horizon.The next three games are against teams who are a
combined 17-7. The Dolphins might just be built for the challenge.___AP NFL
