Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-6.5) for Djokovic – 1.46.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 32 – 1.70.
Djokovic defeated Norrie (6-1, 6-2) at the end of last year’s ATP Finals. Cameron is likely to suffer a similar fate. Cameron has no strong serve. He is also inferior to Novak. We don’t think even the support of the stands will help Norrie.
Cameron doesn’t know how to play with top tennis players. He regularly lost. It is unlikely that anything will change significantly now.
Novak had a quiet first four rounds but almost lost in the quarter-finals to Jannik Sinner (5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2).
After the second set, in which he took only 2 games, perhaps only the most devoted fans believed in a Djokovic comeback.
However, as is often the case, at some point Novak went into beast mode and soon everyone saw what they had been waiting for.
In the third, fourth and fifth sets, Djokovic did not lose a single game on his serve and converted five break points.
The match could be divided into two parts: Sinner faced a shadow of Djokovic in the first and the real Djokovic in the second.
Djokovic has not lost at Wimbledon since 2017. His winning streak at Wimbledon already stands at 26 matches.
Djokovic has won the last 14 meetings as a favourite.
Norrie, meanwhile, reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career. This came later than Norrie’s debut in the top 10.
Interestingly, he had never reached the second week at this level before Wimbledon.
It is undoubtedly a serious success, but it was not without luck. Norrie has not had a single top-30 opponent so far.
Cameron’s highest-ranked opponent was #32 Tommy Paul (6-4, 7-5, 6-4).
Contrary to expectations, Norrie beat Tommy easily, but against David Goffin (3-6, 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5) he had to spend five sets on the court.
On his way to the semi-finals, he also defeated Pablo Andujar (6-0, 7-6, 6-3), Jaume Munar (6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-0, 6-2) and Steve Johnson (6-4, 6-1, 6-0).
In 4 of Djokovic’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 1.58.
In the Serb’s last five battles, no tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with odds of 1.70.
