French Open Draw Sets Up Djokovic-Federer Rematch ... in the Semifinals
By Jason McIntyre
The last two times they’ve met at Majors have produced awesome matches:
* Federer was serving for the match at the US Open, then Djokovic won the next three sets to stun the Rocket.
* Federer started to blow out Djokovic, then had to hold him off at the French Open last year, snapping the Joker’s 43-match win streak.
Federer, who turns 31 in August, is probably the greatest tennis player ever – sorry, Pete Sampras – and the only Final he’s reached in the last eight majors is at Roland Garros. Clay is not his favorite surface – Federer’s won four Australian Open titles, six Wimbledon titles, and five US Opens. Federer only has one French Open championship, despite reaching the final five times (damn that Nadal – he’s got six French Open titles).
