French Open: #1 Djokovic v. #9 Berrettini

Who will WIN this matchup?

#1 Novak Djokovic (SRB)

#9 Matteo Berrettini (ITA)

 

Current odds:

Novak Djokovic: (-450)

Matteo Berrettini: (+333)

 

Novak Djokovic was in a bit of trouble in the round of 16 as the talented Lorenzo Musetti edged the first two sets in tiebreakers. However, the world #1 looked like a different player from the start of the third set and dropped only one game in the rest of the match, 6-7 6-7 6-1 6-0 4-0 (retired).

Matteo Berrettini, who pulled out of his round of 16 match in the season’s previous slam at the Australian Open, received a walkover from Roger Federer in the round of 16 in Paris a couple of days ago. By collecting three comfortable wins against outside top-90 players over the last few days, the Italian #1 Matteo Berrettini has become only the sixth Italian to reach the quarterfinal in the French Open since 1980. Jannik Sinner made it to this stage of the 2020 edition but couldn’t win a set against the eventual champion and former world #1 Rafael Nadal.
