Match Predict – Handicap (-3) for Djokovic

Djokovic, with his many years of experience, is unlikely to miss out on an opportunity to end the season with a win at the ATP World Tour, which, incidentally, he has won five times before. Novak is well aware of Ruud’s play, whom he defeated on three occasions during his career. The two men met this year as well, defeating Casper in two sets at the Rome Masters.

Total Games – Under 24

The tennis players have met each other three times before. All three duels ended in two sets. We expect that the upcoming match will not go beyond two sets either. Djokovic’s many years of experience should be enough to outplay Ruud again quickly.

Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Casper Ruud vs Novak Djokovic

Casper Ruud:

Ruud reached the final of the ATP Finals for the first time in his career. With this, he will finish the season in the top 3. If he wins, Casper will become the second-best player in the world.

Casper defeated Andrey Rublev (6-2, 6-4) on Saturday. The match against Rublev was not at all as tense as expected. In fact, it was a rout.

Ruud took the first set with a score of 6-2, taking advantage of numerous mistakes of his opponent.

Casper was leading 5-1 in the second set, then Rublev took three games in a row, but at 5-4, Casper calmly served for the match.

Remarkably, there was a stretch in this match when Ruud won nine games in a row. Apparently, Rublev simply had no time to recover from an emotional match against Stefanos Tsitsipas (3-6, 6-3, 6-2). It was the same after Andrey’s win over Daniil Medvedev (6-7, 6-3, 7-6). He lost to Novak Djokovic (6-4, 6-1) in the next match without a chance.

Ruud had lost three of the previous five finals.

Novak Djokovic:

No matter how you look at it, the hardest part of this tournament is over for Novak. The meeting with Ruud is almost a formality. With all due respect to Casper. Serb is already on the verge of being congratulated on his win in the final round.

Djokovic won all three of his group-stage matches against Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-4, 7-6), Andrey Rublev (6-4, 6-1) and Daniil Medvedev (6-3, 6-7, 7-6).

The meeting with Medvedev had no tournament significance, but Nole still did his best to win, overpowering Daniil in the tie-break of the third set.

In the semi-finals, Djokovic won on two tie-breaks against Taylor Fritz (7-6, 7-6). In the first set, Novak allowed Taylor to make a reverse break. In the second set, he found himself in a situation where he had to win back.

Djokovic admitted that he underplayed his best tennis, but it must be remembered that he played a three-hour game against Medvedev on Friday. We need to talk about the fact that Novak continues to perform miracles of stamina.

Djokovic has previously won the final tournament five times.

Djokovic has seven straight wins over the top 10.
