Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas: Match Preview
Novak Djokovic and Tsitsipas have played each other 13 times before with the Serbian leading the head-to-head 11-2. They have entertained the audience at every meeting and should be doing so this time as well.
Their last outing took place at the 2023 Australian Open, where the Serbian won in straight sets. The Greek player had not won in their last ten meetings and is less likely to pull off an upset this time around. Djokovic had a slightly tough run in his last match, beating Dominik Koepfer 7-5, 6-3. Before that, he played one of his best matches all season when he ousted Rafael Nadal 6-1, 6-4.
On the other hand, Tsitsipas had to fight to make it here. He played one three-setter match in the first round and his latest match against Sebastian Baez was a more straightforward affair. Even though Baez put up a fight at the start, Tsitsipas dominated and won win 7-5, 6-1.
Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas: Match Prediction
Nothing less than an intense three-set match is expected when these two take to the court. Even though the predictions favor Djokovic to win, the Greek No. 1 has been strong on clay and has the firepower to cause an unlikely upset.
Djokovic, while there is always a doubt about his fitness as he recently had surgery on his right knee, is expected to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas and secure his place in the semifinals. Both the players are aiming to win a medal for their country and will be at their best when they face each other.
Match Prediction: Novak Djokovic to win in three sets.
