The rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer has been described as one of the greatest in tennis history. Djokovic and Federer faced each other 50 times, with Djokovic leading the head-to-head record 27–23, including 13–6 in finals. They played 17 matches at the majors with Djokovic leading 11–6, five which were in finals and a record eleven in the semifinals.
