Djokovic vs Tsitsipas: will Novak win the trophy?
On June 13, Novak Djokovic will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final of Roland Garros. Who will win the decisive match? Read in our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Novak Djokovic
SerbiaDjokovic made his 29th Grand Slam final and the sixth here in Paris, at Roland Garros. We wouldn't say that Novak's campaign at the current tournament was easy. Yes, the Serb played flawlessly in the first matches at Roland Garros, effortlessly beating Tennys Sandgren, Pablo Cuevas, and Ricardas Berankis.
But the fourth-round match turned out to be quite difficult for Djokovic. Novak was losing two sets to Lorenzo Musetti and was able to make a comeback only thanks to the opponent's injury during the game. Otherwise, the tournament could have finished early for the World №1. The victory over Matteo Berrettini in the quarterfinals of the tournament was also tough.
But in the semifinal against Rafael Nadal, Djokovic was just perfect. Having lost the first set to the Spaniard (3-6), the Serbian player confidently won the next three sets, thereby knocking out the King of the Clay, the main contender for the trophy.
Stefanos Tsitsipas
GreeceTsitsipas had a smooth campaign at the French Open. Only the semifinal match against Alexander Zverev had some intrigue. During that battle, Stefanos was leading 2-0 but then lost his advantage. As a result, the athletes had to play five sets.
The rest of the matches were pretty easy for Tsitsipas. It is worth mentioning his performance in the quarterfinal against Daniil Medvedev when the Greek won in three sets (6-3, 7-6, 7-5). This result is very important for Tsitsipas, given how the previous matches against the Russian went. In the third round against John Isner, Stefanos dealt with the American's big serve without any problems (5-7, 6-3, 7-6, 6-1).

Tip and bets
Incredibly, Djokovic managed to beat the formidable King of the Clay, Rafael Nadal in four sets. Now the Serb is the favourite in the final match of Roland Garros. And if Novak is approaching the final in the same spirits that we saw just the other day, then Tsitsipas doesn't really stand a chance. We believe that it is worth playing the victory of Djokovic with the handicap offered by the bookmakers.
Our prediction - Djokovic to win with a handicap (-4.5)
Djokovic played an incredible match against Nadal in the semifinal. The Serb was aggressive, at this strategy paid off. We believe that if Novak plays in the same way against Tsitsipas, the Greek will not have the slightest chance of winning.
