Djokovic Favoured To Win Wimbledon Final Battle Against Federer
Published on July 12th, 2019 7:58 pm ESTWritten By: Dave Manuel
For the 48th time in their careers, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will be squaring off. This time around the battle will take place in the Wimbledon final. Djokovic currently holds a lifetime 25-22 advantage over Federer in their head-to-head battles, with a 9-6 record in Grand Slam tournaments. Federer dominated the head-to-head battle early on (13-6 lead by the end of 2010), though Djokovic has come on strong in recent years.
Federer, who has won Wimbledon a total of eight times (with his most recent victory coming in 2017), is doing well to hold off Father Time, as he is currently 37 years of age and still playing tennis at the highest level. Federer earned his way into the finals by defeating Rafael Nadal in four sets.
Djokovic, on the other hand, has won Wimbledon a total of four times, with his most recent win coming last year, in 2018. After slumping badly in 2017, Djokovic has regained his form and is looking for his second Grand Slam title of 2019.
