The wait for the highly anticipated match is over, World No.2 Novak Djokovic faces the 16 time grandslam champion Roger Federer in the semifinal of the French Open 2011. Djokovic who is on incredible 41 match winning streak from the beginning of this season, will be at the Zenith once he reaches the French Open Final(regardless of the Final's result).Djokovic has won 7 titles in a row, which includes The Australian Open and four Masters 1000 Series.
Roger Federer, the 2009 French Open Champion is aiming for 2nd Roland Garros title, after reaching his 6th French Open Semifinal.Federer hasn't won a grandslam since the title at the Australian Open 2010.Though Federer leads their all time encounter 13-9, It won't be easy for him against Djokovic, who has lost all the 3 matches, including the semifinal at the Australian Open 2011 to Djokovic.
In the Other Semifinal between World No.1 Rafael Nadal vs World No.4 Andy Murray, Nadal is aiming to equal Bjorn Borg's record of 6 French Open titles.Though he has been quite shaky at this year's French Open, losing 53 games en route semifinal-the most by him so far at the French Open, he is determined to defend his title.Murray reached his first Roland Garros Semifinal with a 3 set win over Chela, previously coming back from 2 sets down and trailing 2-5 down in the fifth set against Viktor Troicki in the 4th round.
Nadal leads their all time encounter 10-4 , with Nadal winning all their 3 meetings on clay but Murray seems to have improved his clay court game a lot, since 2008.
