Roger Federer must "take it up a level" to beat Novak Djokovic and claim a record-equalling ninth Wimbledon singles title, says three-time champion John McEnroe.
Swiss Federer, 37, produced a stellar performance to beat long-time rival Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals.
Serbia's defending champion and world number one Djokovic, 32, is seen as the favourite by many to win a fifth title.
"Djokovic is a human backboard," American great McEnroe said.
"It is going to be a tough task."
Top seed Djokovic, 32, has won three of the past four Grand Slams, while Federer's most recent major triumph came at the 2018 Australian Open.
Federer, the second seed, has won Wimbledon more times than any other man and will equal Martina Navratilova's all-time record with a ninth triumph.
It is the first Wimbledon final between the top two men's seeds since Djokovic and Federer met in 2015.
The pair are meeting for the 48th time in their illustrious careers - only Djokovic and Nadal have played more often.
