Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-10) for Djokovic – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 27.5 – 1.52.
Djokovic has made good progress and a win in Rome should give him more confidence. Novak is expected to have an easy start at Roland Garros. He has beaten Nishioka twice before and has done so in a comfortable way.
The tennis players have met each other twice before and both matches were in three sets. We believe that in the upcoming match it will be pretty easy for Djokovic as well.

After three difficult months, Novak is playing at his best again.
In the beginning, of course, there were problems, it was felt that Novak was struggling physically, but it didn’t last long.
Djokovic reached the final in Belgrade, where he lost to Andrey Rublev (2-6, 7-6, 0-6). It was the last match so far, in which Novak made an unusual number of mistakes.
Djokovic easily qualified for the semifinals at the Madrid Masters, before losing to Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (7-6, 6-7, 5-7). However, Djokovic was actually very good.
In Rome, Djokovic won the title, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-0, 7-6) in the final.
Recall, that Djokovic is the reigning Roland Garros champion.

Nishioka has shown relatively good results on hard court, but he is not doing well on clay.
In late April, Nishioka qualified for Munich but lost to Emil Ruusuvuori in the first round.
At tournaments in Madrid, Rome and Lyon, Nishioka failed to qualify, losing three straight matches.
However, Nishioka had managed to get past the first round at Roland Garros in the previous three seasons. Alas, the streak is likely to be broken.
Safe Bets
In 8 of Djokovic’s last 10 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 1.25.
