Over the years, Novak and Roger have shared a great rivalry. However, the Serb has edged past the Swiss in recent years. He has beaten Federer in three Wimbledon finals (2014, 2015, 2019). In last season’s Australian Open, Djokovic handed Federer a semi-final loss. It happened to be Roger’s last match of the season, as he had to undergo knee surgery soon after.
