The men's singles semi-finals get underway on the 11th day of this year's Wimbledon Championships .
Defending champion Novak Djokovic kicks off proceedings on Centre Court where he takes on Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut .
The Serbian is expected to reach the sixth Wimbledon final of his career.
It's anyone's guess for the second semi-final of the day: Rafael Nadal vs Roger Federer . The two men are meeting for the first time here at the All England Club since that iconic 2008 final, won by Nadal.
They both head into their clash in top form, having cruised their way through the Championships.

1562921909 Today promises to be one of the most memorable days in recent Wimbledon history, and Paul Newman has written quite the preview piece to whet your appetite ahead of the latest Federer vs Nadal clash:
Vithushan Ehantharajah 12 July 2019 09:58
1562929546 Day 11 is here, and it's a blockbuster day with a matchup between arguably the two greatest players of all time!
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will meet for the 40th time, and the first time at Wimbledon since their legendary final in 2008, which lasted nearly five hours!
Kieran Jackson 12 July 2019 12:05
1562929834 Before those two clash though, Novak Djokovic will face Roberto Bautista Agut in the first men's semi-final!
These two have met 10 times, with Djokovic leading the H2H 7-3 . However, Bautista Agut has beaten the world number one twice this year, in Doha and Miami.
The pair will get play underway on Centre Court from 1:00pm!

1562931859 It should be a memorable day for Roberto Bautista Agut. The Spaniard had originally pencilled in his stag-do in Ibiza for this weekend but instead finds himself going up against world No 1 Novak Djokovic on Wimbledon's Centre Court.
Agut has taken on the Serbian a total of 10 times. He's beaten him on just three occasions, the most recent coming in Miami earlier this year.
Having never faced each other on grass before, though, today's clash remains something of an unknown entity. Djokovic remains the favourite, for sure, but Agut isn't one to be dismissed so easily.
