Novak Djokovic vs Kei Nishikori Prediction and Betting Tips (04.09.2021)

Command Analysis

Novak Djokovic

Serbia

Djokovic has come to New York to win his fourth Grand Slam trophy this year. So far he has had no difficulties. Djokovic first passed Holger Rune (6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-1), then ousted Tallon Griekspoor (6-2, 6-3, 6-2). We remember that Djokovic failed to win the Olympic medal in Tokyo earlier this summer: in the semifinals, he lost to Alexander Zverev (6-1, 3-6, 1-6), and was defeated by Carreno Busta in the battle for bronze (4-6, 7-6, 3-6). But Djokovic doesn't let the failures of the past distract him from the future goal.

Kei Nishikori

Japan

Nishikori is obviously unhappy that he has to take on Djokovic at such an early stage of the tournament. Djokovic is considered the least comfortable opponent for Nishikori: the Japanese tennis player has lost to Djokovic 17 times and won in only two matches. Nishikori's path to the Round of 32 wasn't easy. The Japanese athlete lost one set to Salvatore Caruso (6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-3), and then had a thriller of a match against Mackenzie McDonald. In the end, Nishikori defeated McDonald in five sets (7-6, 6-3, 6-7, 2-6, 6-3).

Nishikori lost to Djokovic at the Olympics with a score of 2-6, 0-6. We don't think he will be able to put up a fight in this fixture, because Nishikori hasn't figured out how to play against Djokovic. he regularly loses to the Serb. We think there will be no miracle here, and Djokovic will get a landslide victory.
