Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will renew rivalry in Wimbledon semi-finals

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have met more than any other two men in the Open Era - and the pair are ready to finally resume their long-standing rivalry on the Grand Slam stage.

Nadal, 32, and Djokovic, 31, meet in a highly anticipated Wimbledon semi-final at about 16:30 BST on Friday.

They have met on 51 previous occasions, but not at this stage of a Slam since the 2014 French Open semi-finals.

The winner will play either John Isner or Kevin Anderson in Sunday's final.

Spain's Nadal and Serbia's Djokovic have won 29 Grand Slam titles between them, including five previous victories at SW19.
