Djokovic vs Basavareddy. Australian Open match prediction
Djokovic and Basavareddy will meet in the first round of the Australian Open on January 13. After parting ways with Ivanisevic, Djokovic decided to change his team. Viktor Troicki was his main sparring partner, but the Serb realized that he needed a fresh look from the outside. So Andy Murray joined his team. Will this tandem be successful and what will this Australian Open be like for Novak? - bets on the upcoming match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Novak Djokovic
SerbiaCurrent form
Djokovic played in only one tournament this season. Novak took part in the competition in Brisbane, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Reilly Opelka. Let us recall that last season on open hard courts the Serb won 15 times and suffered five defeats.
Professional qualities
Djokovic can be praised for a long time, but his strengths are already well known. The Serb has the best return in history, and he remains so even in his mature years. Melbourne courts are ideal for Novak’s style, and with each match he will increase his aggression on the baseline.
Current indicators in the tour
Djokovic is the seventh racket in the world. During his career, Novak has won the Australian Open ten times. The last time he won was in Melbourne in 2023 - then he beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final. In total, the Serb has won 111 trophies during his career - last year, we recall, he won the long-awaited Olympic gold.
Interesting facts for betting
Djokovic was last year semi-finalist in Melbourne.
Nishesh Basavareddy
USACurrent form
Basavareddy showed a good result at the competition in Auckland last week. In those competitions, Nisesh overcame the qualification and managed to reach the semifinals, where she lost to Gael Monfils, the future winner of the tournament. It should be noted that the 19-year-old American will play in the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time in his career.
Professional qualities
Basavareddy is not the tallest tennis player, but his main weapon is a powerful serve, although it is not always consistent. On the court, Nishesh prefers to play number one and, despite his size, he is confident on the baseline. He has learned to maintain a high tempo and consistently keeps the ball in play, which makes him a dangerous opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Basavareddy is ranked 133rd in the world. Last season, Nisesh won his first trophies in his professional career. On outdoor hard courts, he won the Challengers held in Tiburon and Puerto Vallarta.
Interesting facts for betting

Basavareddy is in good shape - he looks good on his serve and doesn't lose his game under pressure. However, in the upcoming match he will be up against Djokovic and, as it seems to us, Nisesh will not be able to pass this test and will lose to the Serb quite quickly.
