Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon

Where: Wimbledon, London, England
When: Friday, July 14

The most successful tennis player of all time, Novak Djokovic, is rushing for his 24th Grand Slam title, the one which would increase the gap between him and all the other rivals. His next obstacle on that road is the Italian star, Jannik Sinner, whom he met last year at the All England Club courts. Back then, Novak was on the verge of the abyss but managed to come back and later take the title by beating Nick Kyrgios.

Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic Preview

Jannik Sinner

The Italian didn’t have much trouble reaching here, as he beat several lower-ranked players in the previous rounds. He didn’t encounter a single-seeded player until now, so it’s no wonder why Sinner spent two hours fewer on the court than Novak, 10:48 hours compared to Nole’s 12:42.

His victim in the opening round was Cerundolo, then another Argentinian, Schwartzman, before Quentin Halys, who managed to snatch a set from Sinner. Daniel Galan was eliminated in round four, and the most recent victory Sinner posted was against Roman Safiulin, whom he defeated in four sets in the quarterfinals.

The Italian has 26 break points in 66 attempts, and overall, he has a very good percentage of the return points won, which currently stands at 43%. His average serves are close to 194km/h, but the first serve percentage is very low 56%.

Nole had to go through a nasty schedule in the past two days, playing back-to-back matches in 24 hours. First, he had to continue the battle against Hubert Hurkacz, losing a set after the restart, and then meet Rublev on the very next day. He would drop a set in that one but eventually went on to win.

Novak’s rivals were much harder than Sinner’s, with the Joker facing Pedro Cachin in the first round, Jordan Thomspon in the second, and the three-time Grand Slam winner, his big rival, Sten Wawrinka. Unlike the latter two events, he didn’t lose a single set in these three.

Nole’s primary weapons here are his mental stability and his return. He is perfect in tie breaks, 5 for 5, and so far, he has managed to find a way to restrain all of his rivals and their first serve.

Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic Head to Head

There had been two meetings between Sinner and Novak and the Serb triumphed in both. The first was at the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters in 2021, where Djokovic won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, and the second last year here in London, when Sinner dropped a 2-0 lead to lose in the quarterfinals to the latter champion.

The way things look, Sinner’s best-case scenario is to take one set from Novak, and that would be it. Novak’s game is still not at 100%, and the semis are usually the time when he accelerates. Therefore, we don’t question his victory.

Our verdict: Novak Djokovic wins
