Novak Djokovic is widely predicted to defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas in four sets. The all-time great dominates the head-to-head matchup. Grass is not Tsitsipas’s strongest surface .

However, because Djokovic has shown some early-round fatigue, experts suggest Tsitsipas has a strong chance to steal at least one set.

There’s a real buzz about Centre Court following the absorbing conclusion to the previous match between Barbora Krejcikova and Mirra Andreeva, England’s dramatic win at the World Cup, and the anticipation of the arrival of seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas used to only cross paths in the latter stages of slams, with Djokovic winning both their meetings in major finals.
