Andrey Rublev to Win at Least One Set
Novak Djokovic has looked unbeatable in this tournament so far; he has surrendered just one set in four matches so far. As a matter of fact, the former World number 1 didn’t get broken in three out of four matches he has played. Compared to the players he has faced however, Andrey Rublev will be a relatively bigger fish to fry. The Russian has a solid return game, and is averaging almost 15 breakpoints per match. While we believe Novak Djokovic will win this match, we don’t think he’ll do it in straight sets.
Over 34.5 Games
We’ve already established that we don’t expect this match to end in straight sets; and on that note, we believe that this match will feature at least 35 games. It’s important to point out that this match could end in straight sets, and still go comfortably above this line. Considering how Rublev has been playing recently, we are fairly confident that he’ll give the nine-time Australian Open champion a run for his money; and that’s why we’re backing the over.
