The pair have only met twice and the seasoned Djokovic holds a 100% record over his younger opponent. The last time the pair met was in the 2021 French Open. Djokovic, who won the Roland Garros, had defeated Berrettini in the quarterfinals.
Before that, the duo had met in 2019 at the ATP Finals in which Djokovic had eased past the Italian. The 19-time Grand Slam winner will look to maintain the record when he takes on Berrettini at the Centre Court on Sunday.
