Roger Federer is about to play his 12th final in Wimbledon to bid for his 21st major on Sunday against Novak Djokovic.
At 38 years of age and after so much success, the Swiss sensation has been in this position many times, and he is fully aware of what he is going to expect. However, Roger is well known for feeling very emotional after the finals. Even if that happened back in 2009, it is still quite vivid in the mind of the tennis fans the images of Federer bursting into tears after losing the final at the Australian Open against Rafael Nadal. You can fast forward 9 years and Roger was also unable to contain his emotions after winning an incredible title also in Melbourne against Marin Cilic.
