Men’s Finals - Australian Open Grand Slam

Novak Djokovic Preview

Novak Djokovic is seeking his 22nd Grand Slam title.

The Serbian athlete of generations, Djokovic has done well in his return to Melbourne.

After having missed last year’s Open due to some widely covered drama, there is no room to complain about this performance.

Seeking the GOAT status in a sport with so many candidates, Djokovic aims to separate himself from the pack and fellow player, Rafael Nadal.

Djokovic is coming into this match having played some of the best tennis of his career.

Handling some really big opponents in such easy ways isn’t easy, and there is plenty of more drive and motivation in this man’s tank.

Regardless of how he eases his opponents into the match and kills them off, Djokovic has been more efficient than in many other slams of his career.

His matchup against Stef has been heavily leaning towards his way in the multiple outings they have encountered.

There are going to be multiple occasions where Novak is able to get a read on the Tsitsipas serve and cause problems.

Off the ground, Novak will have to stay away from Tsitsipas’ forehand, and impose his backhand a bit more.

Djokovic is a game planning master and can get out of any tricky situation.

If he is locked in, and plays as previous matches reflect, he will deliver a dominating performance and secure his 22nd.

Stefanos Tsitsipas Preview

Stefanos Tsitsipas has had a great AO and is finally in his first final.

On hard courts at least, Stefanos has had problems dealing with speeds and making the final push towards the last round.

He has created his own destiny, and now has an opportunity to win his first grand slam again, in a second GS final meeting between him and Novak.

Tsitsipas was up two sets to love in their first GS Final encounter and had Djokovic on the ropes at the French Open.

He did not capitalize, however, and hasn’t been back since. Now he has a great chance to make things right, and he will go out with a swinging, free mindset.

For Tsitsipas to win this match, he must take his opportunities whenever he receives them.

There are going to be multiple points where he is massively tested, and there will be some opportunities for himself.

Betting Prediction - Novak Djokovic -1.5 sets, and the Tsitsipas spread in a close one, but the Serb will edge it out.
