There should be plenty of excitement tonight at Rod Laver Arena, as No. 2, Roger Federer, and No. 3, Novak Djokovic, meet in a semifinal match to determine who will move on to compete for the 2011 Australian Open Championship.

Novak Djokovic famously beat Roger Federer in this exact position in 2008, going on to win the tournament. He also beat Federer in a 2010 U.S. Open semifinal, then lost the championship to Rafael Nadal. 

Yet, Novak Djokovic still has just six wins in 19 tries against Roger Federer.
