Five-time champion Roger Federer advanced into his seventh straight Wimbledon final Friday and will play against American Andy Roddick for a record 15th Grand Slam title.

Federer did not sweat to beat German Tommy Haas 7-6(3), 7-5, 6-3, extending his winning run to 18 consecutive matches.

Federer will meet Roddick in the final for the third time in six years after the American defeated Andy Murray 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-6(5).

The Swiss star beat Roddick in the 2004 and 2005 finals and leads 18-2 overall.
