Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer enjoyed a thrilling rivalry in tennis, as they dominated the sport for almost 20 years.
Sharing 44 Major titles between them, it’s fair to say that Djokovic and Federer are two of the finest players to ever step foot on a tennis court.
The ATP Tour was dominated by the pair and their rival Rafael Nadal for the majority of the 21st Century, as they would often be seen facing off during the latter stages of Major tournaments.
Djokovic and Federer played one another 50 times during their time together on tour, with the Serbian star winning the head-to-head 27-23.
They played in their fair share of classics, none better than Djokovic and Federer’s Wimbledon final epic back in 2019.
Roger Federer couldn’t understand Novak Djokovic’s match point save at the 2011 US Open
Down two match points in the 2011 US Open semi-finals against a man who had won the title in five of the last seven years, it didn’t look as if Djokovic stood much of a chance.
Federer walked up looking to serve things out at 40-15 when Djokovic hit one of the most remarkable returns in tennis history.
Slapping a forehand crosscourt, the crowd went wild as the Serb saved the first of two match points against his Swiss rival.
