Check out the IBM Slamtracker with up to the minute scoring updates bringing you close to the action, keeping you informed with stats and all the data you want to know from Djokovic's Men's Singles quarterfinal meeting at Wimbledon. 

Djokovic will be facing Tomas Berdych in this round. The World's No. 1 ranked Men's Singles player faces the No. 7 seed of the tournament in Berdych. Though the two share completely different histories, they are no strangers to one another. This will be the 16th meeting between the two top ranked players. Since their first match back in 2008 at Bangkok, Djokovic has ruled their head-to-head battles, owning a 13-2 record against the Czech Republican.

Before automatically assuming that Djokovic will win the matchup based on that record, it was Berdych who won their last meeting in Rome. Berdych finished that match with nine aces, Djokovic had only eight. The key for Berdych seems to be in first set points as he won 79 percent of his, compared to Djokovic only 69 percent of his first set points. Aside from that, the stats are pretty even. 

The bad news for Berdych is that Djokovic has cruised through the first four rounds of the tournament and has yet to drop a set. Meanwhile, Berdych has struggled as of late, being taken to five sets in his last two matches against Kevin Anderson and Bernard Tomic. Does the Czech have a fight or two left in him to get past Djokovic?
