Wimbledon is down to its final four, and the second semifinal Friday will be a battle of a player in his 41st career Grand Slam semifinal against a player in his first.
It's world No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. Canadian rising star Denis Shapovalov.
The match marks the seventh meeting between the two, with the Serbian winning all six prior matches, four via straight sets. However, those matches were either on hard courts or clay. In 2019, the duo met at The Boodles, an exhibition on grass, and Shapovalov walked away a 7-6(3), 6-4 winner.
Djokovic, the defending champ and a five-time winner at Wimbledon, is aiming for his 20th Grand Slam title. He has already won two of the four Grand Slam events in 2021, having taken the Australian and French Open titles. Shapovalov also has a Wimbledon title to his name; he won the boys' title in 2016.
Here's everything you need to know to watch these two battle it out in The Championship semifinals.
