Wimbledon 2012: Roger Federer Defeats No. 1 Novak Djokovic, Advances to Championship

Roger Federer advanced to the Gentlemen's Finals at Wimbledon. He defeated the No. 1 ranked player, Novak Djokovic in four sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Djokovic and Roger dueled in another epic battle.

Federer took the first set, which is always a good sign for him. He has lost every time when trailing Djokovic trailing after the first set.

Both players had moments of greatness throughout the match. Federer overpowered Djokovic at times and looked dominant, but other times, he made mistakes that cost him points.

Novak also squandered opportunities and looked like they would cost him the match.

Novak had 21 unforced errors compared to Federer's 9.

The third set was a close one that saw a couple of ties. The set was tied at 3 and 4, but Federer proved dominant and took the set 6-4.

Going into the fourth set, Federer probably knew he had never beaten Djokovic in 5 sets. He played like he wanted to put away the match as soon as possible.

That he did.

He took a 4-1 lead and made the match look relatively easy. Djokovic looked upset for the first time in a while. He eventually took the set 6-3 and proceeded to his record 8th Wimbledon Final appearance.

Now, Federer awaits for an opponent as Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will take Centre Court against England's favorite, Andy Murray.

The Gentlemen's Wimbledon Final will be played on Sunday.
