The 49^th FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer has begun to a sold-out O2 arena in southeast London.

Djokovic leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head series 26-22 and has won three of their five Nitto ATP Finals matchups. The World No. 2 has also won nine of their past 11 meetings.

Djokovic is looking to reach the semi-finals in London for the seventh straight time and ninth overall in his 12^th appearance. He is 8-3 in his final group matches.

Two of the greatest of all time. Only one can qualify.
