Cameron Norrie searching a win against the best in the world
Cameron Norrie is the second player to replace an injured player after Jannik Sinner. However, Brit’s first appearance was not successful as he lost to Casper Ruud. Despite winning the first set with a commanding 6-1 result, Norrie lost his momentum in the second and third sets. In fact, the points won on his return points dropped from 56% in the first set to just 12% in the next two sets.
Playing against the best returner in the world, Norrie needs to have a high percentage in his serve. Notably, the world number 12 had a 79% first serve percentage in his first match but won just 66% of the points behind them. Hence, he needs to be more effective with his serve if he wants to register his first-ever win in the ATP Tour Finals.
Some start! Cam has come to play ?

Novak Djokovic vs Cameron Norrie Prediction
Despite the fact that this match doesn’t change anything, however, an undefeated champion at the end of the tournament receives double the prize money. As a result, Djokovic will play to win and keep his record clear. Also, the Serb wants to keep the momentum he is in.
On the other hand, a win will hand Norrie a check for 173,000$! However, playing Djokovic for the first time is a challenge itself and to cope with such pressure is certainly over Norrie’s capabilities. Still, we expect the Brit to put up a fight but not enough to win him the match.
With the odds for a Djokovic win being as low as 1.10, we will choose the total games market for our prediction. And considering Novak’s form, he will do his best to end this match quickly. Hence we predict under 22 games
