What a fantastic match we’ll have in the 2023 US Open final, with the same protagonists as two years before. Medvedev is at his peak, as seen by his semifinal victory over Carlos Alcaraz. Novak Djokovic, for his part, was rough with the teenage Ben Shelton, needing just three sets to dispute a new Grand Slam final.

Here you are the top tennis prediction for today, as well as betting tips for the ATP US Open final.

First set: Djokovic @ 11/20 (1.95)

Djokovic has shown quality and experience this year, easily winning the majority of his matches. Only a few players, like Carlos Alcaraz, have been able to stand up to him..

Novak and Daniil met in the semifinals of both Adelaide and Dubai, and the Serb won both times without dropping a single set. Taking into account the positive results, my prediction is that Djokovic will win the first set.

Djokovic over 21.5 games @ 8/11 (1.72)

Given Daniil Medvedev’s performance throughout the competition, particularly in the semifinals, I think this match will last at least four sets. Both of their meetings this year finished in straight sets, but as we’ve seen in the previous US Open final between these two players, Medvedev is more dangerous than the stats show when it comes to his performances at his prime.

As a result, I am pretty certain that we will not see a straight-set win either way and with Djokovic projected to win more than 21.5 sets, I would back this bet.

The odds in this article were correct at the time of writing, and the odds are subject to change. We recommend checking with your bookmaker before placing a bet.

Medvedev vs Djokovic: Will Novak reach the Grand Slam treble?

Take a look at the preview of the finalists of the last Grand Slam of the year and other 2023 US Open predictions.

Daniil Medvedev

The Russian tennis player overcame each of the challenges with great effort. Although he lost a set in half of the matches he played at the US Open, he managed to recover and advance to the final. In the previous round we saw Daniil Medvedev play at the same level, or even better than in 2021 when he reached the final in Melbourne and then was crowned in New York. Carlos Alcaraz failed to contain Medvedev’s spikes, who will have a good chance to win if he maintains the level he showed in the semi-finals.

Novak Djokovic

Djokovic advanced round after round with ease, just tripping briefly in the third round against Laslo Djere. He won the remaining five matches in straight sets, and he only lost two of the 20 sets he played throughout the tournament, and just once in a tiebreak, against Ben Shelton. Novak Djokovic sets a new record after reaching his 10th US Open final; he has won three titles to far.

Medvedev vs Djokovic Head to Head

Novak and Medvedev have a long history of feuds, having met 14 times since 2017. This will be the third time they have competed in a Grand Slam final. Djokovic defeated Medvedev in the Australian Open final in 2021, while Medvedev was defeated in the US Open final that same year. The Serb tennis player now leads the series 9-5.
