Safiullin is undoubtedly in great form at the moment, but he will be up against Djokovic, who needs some practice ahead of the ATP Finals. We believe it won’t be too difficult for Novak to overpower the Russian with a confident score.
Djokovic won both of his matches in Tel Aviv in two sets. We believe that Novak will also win the upcoming match in his favour in two sets.
Novak, as expected, arrived in Tel Aviv in great form. There is no problem with his mood either. It was already evident in last week’s Laver Cup matches that Novak missed tennis a lot.
In the first match, Djokovic easily defeated Pablo Andujar (6-0, 6-3). In fact, the game turned into a masterclass for his opponent.
In the quarter-finals, Novak defeated Vasek Pospisil (7-6, 6-3). After the match, Nole admitted that it was not easy for him to play emotionally against Vasek, with whom he has long enjoyed a friendly relationship.
Overall, Djokovic is fit as usual. It is likely that this autumn he will once again remind you who is really the best tennis player in the world right now.
Djokovic has won seven of his last eight indoor hard court matches.
Safiullin, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals at an ATP tournament for the second time in his season and career.
This week, it was once again possible to see that Roman is indeed capable of playing at a serious level. However, the effects of a serious shoulder injury still seem to be bothering him.
On Friday, Salfiullin soundly defeated Artur Rinderknech (6-4, 6-1).
In the second round, the Russian tennis player quietly dealt with Tomas Martin Etcheverry (6-1, 6-4), who stopped Aslan Karatsev early in the tournament. In the first round, Safiullin defeated Hugo Grenier (6-3, 6-1).
Safiullin has won his last six consecutive matches in the Middle East.
In 3 of Safiullin’s last 5 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 odds of 1.55.
