Basel Finals Rematch

As predicted, the world no. 2 will face the world no. 3 in tonight's edition of Swiss Indoors in Basel.  Federer sweep past Andy Roddick 6-2 6-4 while Djokovic outlasted fellow countrymen Victor Troicki 7-6 6-4 to setup a rematch of last year's final.

If Federer can recapture the title he won from 2006-2008, he will stretch the gap between him and Novak by 400 (Federer +200, Novak -200) ranking points securing his no. 2 spot in the rankings for the year.

The last time they met was in the US Open where Federer was defeated holding on to 2 match points in five sets in the semi-final match.
