Roger Federer defeated Tommy Haas in a Wimbledon semifinal Friday, 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-3. Federer will play in his 20th Grand Slam final Sunday, including the last seven at Wimbledon. He’ll try to win a record-setting 15th major title. He currently shares the men’s record of 14 Grand Slam victories with Pete Sampras.
