Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the US Open match
Laslo Djere
It's worth noting that since then, Djere has fallen out of the top 100 in the world rankings. Due to a series of injuries, particularly an elbow injury, he missed several important tournaments. This year, Djere has played only 31 matches and risks finishing the season with a losing record (14-17) for the first time in his professional career.
Novak Djokovic
Following his success on Tuesday night, Djokovic’s total number of victories at the US Open has reached 89 — tying him with Roger Federer. It was clear that Novak was still getting used to the surface. The Serb played on outdoor hard courts for the first time since the Indian Wells tournament in March. This led to an uncharacteristic 10 double faults and 40 unforced errors. However, it’s evident that Djokovic will improve with each match and play more cleanly.
Laslo Djere - Novak Djokovic Prediction
Djere spent more than 3.5 hours on the court. We doubt he has the emotional and physical reserves to compete on equal terms with Djokovic — especially given his injury concerns. Moreover, Novak is expected to play better. He has significant potential for growth. We bet on the favourite to win by a large margin.
