Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4.5) for Djokovic – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 21.5 – 1.72.
The tennis players have played 36 matches between them. The scoreline is 25-11 in favour of the Serb. In the old days, Murray regularly resisted Novak, but it’s probably not worth expecting that now. Andy already had some problems in his previous match against Shapovalov.
Murray does not often play long matches. For example, in 4 of his last 5 games, the British player has played two sets.

Novak Djokovic:
Djokovic failed in his first two tournaments of the season. In Monte Carlo, the Serb lost to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (3-6, 7-6, 1-6), but in Belgrade, he fought his way to the final. However, this did not save Novak. In the final, he was beaten by Andrey Rublev (2-6, 7-6, 0-6).

It seemed that after a lacklustre performance in these competitions, Djokovic would not be expected to play phenomenally in Madrid. However, Djokovic literally demolished Gael Monfils in the opening match. That match ended (6-3, 6-2) in favour of the Serb.
Andy Murray:
The Madrid Masters is Murray’s first clay tournament of the season. Prior to this, he played exclusively on hard court. Despite this, Murray has looked very good so far. In his first contest, Andy defeated Dominic Thiem (6-3, 6-4). In the second contest, he took on Denis Shapovalov (6-1, 3-6, 6-2).

It is worth noting that Murray doesn’t believe he can beat Djokovic. He told reporters that Novak is considered the world number one, while he is just a tennis player with a metal plate in his thigh.
