Andy Murray is preparing himself for the biggest match of his life as he bids to become the first British man to win a Wimbledon title for 76 years.
The Scot is recovering from Friday's dramatic semi-final , in which he overcame France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to stand on the brink of making history.
Murray became the first Brit to book a place in the final since Henry "Bunny" Austin 74 years ago with his 6-3 6-4 3-6 7-5 victory over Tsonga.
He is now hoping to become the first to lift the trophy since Fred Perry 76 years ago when he takes on six-time champion Roger Federer on Sunday.
Federer, who is aiming to beat Pete Sampras' Wimbledon record of seven wins, said he is looking forward to playing the "local hero".
Murray, who was clearly emotional after clinching victory in the semi-final, said the final will be "one of the biggest matches of my life".
He said he is looking forward to playing one of the "greatest players ever to have played".
"It's a great challenge, one where I'm probably not expected to win the match, but one that, you know, if I play well, I'm capable of winning."
He also appealed to the crowd for their help, saying: "They've helped me out through some tough moments the last couple of matches, and I'll definitely need it again on Sunday."
Congratulations poured in for Murray, including from Prime Minister David Cameron and Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond, who are both set to attend the final.
Mr Cameron said: "I'll be watching the final on Sunday and, like the rest of the country, will be getting right behind Andy Murray - I wish him the best of luck."
Mr Salmond added: "The whole of Scotland will be right behind Andy on Sunday, and I'll be there in person to help cheer him on."
Bunny Austin's son John, 66, has also revealed he is rooting for the Scot.
"We've been waiting for someone to equal my father's record for many years and I think this could be the year. We're all quite excited."
Fellow Brit Jonny Marray will be playing in his own final on Saturday in the men's doubles final.
He became the first Briton to reach the final in 52 years after he and Freddie Nielsen beat American brothers and defending champions Mike and Bob Bryan.
