ATP World Tour Finals: #1 Djokovic v. #5 Zverev

Who will WIN this matchup?

#1 Novak Djokovic (SRB)

#5 Alexander Zverev (GER)

 

Current odds:

Novak Djokovic: (-300)

Alexander Zverev: (+240)

 

• Novak Djokovic was outfoxed and outclassed by Daniil Medvedev in his second round-robin match on Wednesday. The Serbian could win only 59% of his first-serve points and exposed eight breakpoint chances on his serve, 3-6 3-6. The five-time former champion of the ATP Tour Finals, Novak Djokovic is at the risk of suffering consecutive group-stage exit from this tournament for the first time in his career in 13 appearances.

• Alexander Zverev threw away a set and a break lead at one stage and later needed three sets and over two hours against the ATP Tour Finals debutant Diego Schwartzman to register his first win of the campaign, 6-3 4-6 6-3.

• The Serbian edges the H2H series 4-3 (at all levels), including winning their recent two meetings in the French Open 2019 and Adria Tour during this tour suspension. Novak Djokovic’s ability to deliver goods in big matches makes him the deserved favorite, but his recent shaky form should give Alexander Zverev a lot of encouragement heading into this must-win encounter.
