Thanks to his victory over Bautista Agut, Djokovic is on the same level as Boris Becker in terms of the number of victories at Wimbledon. He only has to tolerate Roger Federer and Jimmy Connors.

Federer and Nadal face each other for the 40th time. Of the previous 39 games, Nadal won 24 and Federer 15. The last time the two faced each other was two months ago in the semi-final of Roland Garros. Then the Mallorcan booked a simple win: 6-3, 6-4 and 6-2.

Wimbledon · one hour ago

Federer has good memories of the earlier two encounters with Nadal on grass - both at Wimbledon. The twenty-time Grand Slam winner was too strong in both finals. Thirteen years ago it became 6-0, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (7) and 6-3 and a year later, in 2007, the final battle again produced a spectacle. Federer then won 7-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6 and 6-2.

Wimbledon · one hour ago

At the time, Nadal took the lead in a thriller: 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8) and 9-7. With that, he kept Federer away from the Wimbledon title for the first time in six years.

If we take this statistic, it looks good for Djokovic. He has won all Grand Slam finals since 2014 against Federer of Nadal.
