The Serbian athlete is among the contenders to win this major, although there are big doubts about whether “Nole” will be able to take the title in Paris. Djokovic is still 37 years old, and the ground is not his crowning glory. We can also remember the fact that the tennis player has not won any tournaments this year, although he remains the first racket of the world.
At Roland Garros things are going well so far, first he beat Erber in three sets – 6:4, 7:6, 6:4 even more confidently was defeated by Spaniard Caraballes Baena – 6:4, 6:1, 6:2. Perhaps Djokovic is still capable of winning slams, as he is the record holder by this indicator.
The young Italian is 22 years old, he is the 30th racket of the world, the current season is not going well, he had two finals, but there is nothing to brag about, because they were Challengers. If you remember Barcelona, Rome Madrid, the athlete lost already in the first matches.
All unexpectedly well in Paris, here he managed to beat Colombian Galan – 6:3, 6:3, 7:5, and then the famous French veteran Monfils – 7:5, 6:1, 6:4. Now ahead of the world ranking leader and a living legend, we need to adjust psychologically in the right way.
Of course, Djokovic is listed as a big favorite in this pairing, but the Italian is able to impose a serious struggle on the Serb, especially on the dirt surface. We expect an interesting match, in which the favorite will not be so easy, we consider a bet on the total more than 33.5 games.
