Wimbledon 2012 TV Schedule: Federer, Djokovic Meet in Semifinals

The table is set and the Centre Court is ready to host the Gentlemen's Semifinals on Friday in London.

Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer will meet for the first time at Wimbledon, despite facing each other 26 times in the past.

Djokovic made it through the tournament as the No. 1 ranked male player, while Federer came into Wimbledon ranked No 3.

Federer is the master at Wimbledon, between the two players. He owns 15 Grand Slam titles and his first ever was at Wimbledon back in 2003.

Since 2003, Federer has won six Wimbledons, five of which came in consecutive fashion from 2003-2007.

Djokovic has less Grand Slam titles won in his entire career than Federer has in Wimbeldon. Djokovic came into Wimbledon with five titles.

He has won the Australian Open three times and one Wimbledon and U.S. Open each.

Djokovic already won the Australian Open this year and was the runner up in Roland Garros. He is also the defending champion at Wimbledon as he was crowned champion in 2011.

Also competing later on that day will be Andy Murray (4) and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (5). The British native, Murray will attempt to make the Wimbledon Finals for the first time in his career.

All the action starts Friday at 1 p.m in London and 8 a.m. on the east coast of the U.S.

Do not miss these Semifinals. ESPN will be airing the Semis.
