Djokovic Beats Federer in Rome; Faces Nadal in Final



World #3 Novak Djokovic battled back from 4-6, 0-2 down to beat World #2 Roger Federer 4-6 6-3 6-3 in the semifinals of the Rome Masters tournament on Saturday. In the other semifinal defending champion World #1 Rafael Nadal beat Fernando Gonzalez 6-3 6-3.

13-time Grand Slam champion Federer has now not won a single ATP tour title in seven months, since the 2008 U.S. Open. Djokovic has beaten him the last two times they played in 2009, in what Craig Hickman calls "awful" matches.
