ROGER FEDERER and Novak Djokovic meet in the early hours of Thursday morning with a place in the Australian Open men's singles final at stake.
Both players have previous in Melbourne – defending champion Fed chasing his fifth title Down Under and 2008 winner Novak bidding for his second.
Their semi-final showdown will mark the 20th meeting of their careers, a head to head world No.2 Federer has a big advantage in with 13 victories to the Serbian's six.
However, in world No.3 Djokovic's favour he has beaten his rival here, scalping him in straight sets three years ago on the way to his only Grand Slam success.
Counter that with Federer's last-16, 3-0 victory in 2007, on the way to his third Australian title
The Swiss legend is a 4-9 favourite with Skybet, Boylesports, Betfred, Blue Square, Paddy Power, 888sport and Coral.
Best price on Djokovic, who will fancy his chances of upsetting the form book is 19-10 with Boylesports. I believe Aussie fans are in for a five-set thriller (11-4, Skybet).
Federer to go through in five is 6-1 with Skybet, Djokovic 13-2 with Betfred.
Ace bet: Federer to win 3-2
(6-1, Skybet).
