Novak Djokovic vs Lorenzo Musetti: Prediction and Betting Tips

Can this be Novak Djokovic’s year to break Nadal’s reign?

It has been an easy ride for world number one Novak Djokovic so far in the French Open. The Serb hasn’t lost a set yet and conceded just 23 games in all matches. His statistics are phenomenal as Djokovic has lost his serve just once in three matches and is winning 83% of the points behind his first serve.

Despite winning the French Open just once, Djokovic is one of the most consistent players at Roland Garros. By beating Berankis in the third round, Novak became the first player to reach the round of 16 for 12 consecutive times. He won 75% of the games in that match as the Serb looks in the hot seat to challenge Nadal’s reign at the French Open.

Lorenzo Musetti in a difficult task

The 19-year-old sensation has been in great form and reached the fourth round of the French Open after beating two players Nishioka and Goffin who are better ranked than the Italian. Musetti is playing very aggressive tennis and his character on the court is helping him win matches.

In his last match against compatriot Cecchinato, Musetti won in a thrilling five-set. The world number 76 served 71% of his first serve in and won 65% of the points behind them. Musetti had 50 winners in the match and had 55% of his net points won.

Key points

• Djokovic played an average of 25 games per match in the French Open
• This is the first match between these two
• Musetti has played on average 33 games per match in the French Open
• Djokovic has not lost his serve 
• Djokovic has served 19 aces in three matches

Novak Djokovic vs Lorenzo Musetti Prediction

With the form Djokovic is in, it is very hard to see him lose against a player like Musetti. The young Italian is a good player but doesn’t have enough experience to trouble Novak in this match.

We think Djokovic is playing his best tennis on clay for a long time and he is always playing in Grand Slams to win them and this match won’t be a big hurdle for him.

We think Djokovic will dictate the match. Musetti might show us some risky shots as he has to if he wants to get anywhere in the match. We predict a low number of games and we see a good value in some markets..
