Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the ATP Geneva match.
Geneva is not a tournament where Novak Djokovic plays with the intention of winning at all costs. The Serbian is clearly not in peak form, though he is motivated to get a couple of matches under his belt ahead of Roland Garros. Marton Fucsovics, on the other hand, approaches ATP 250 events with full commitment, aiming to collect ranking points and prize money.
Marton Fucsovics
Marton Fucsovics has consistently posed a threat at lower-tier tournaments, where many of the top seeds tend to conserve energy. Against Zizou Bergs, the Hungarian looked composed and reliable, securing a 6:3, 6:2 win. Impressively, he won 49% of return points, though he benefited heavily from his opponent’s unforced errors. Notably, he has pushed Novak Djokovic in previous meetings, having taken a set in both of their three-set encounters.
Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic remains in a challenging phase. Across his two clay-court matches in 2025, he has committed 61 unforced errors across just four sets. He is struggling to maintain rhythm and lacks endurance in longer rallies. Since the Australian Open, he has reached only one final—in Miami—while suffering first-round eliminations in four other events. His recent defeats include losses to the world No. 61 Alejandro Tabilo in Monte Carlo and No. 89 Botic van de Zandschulp in Indian Wells.
Marton Fucsovics vs Novak Djokovic Prediction
Novak Djokovic has yet to find consistency this season and has even lost to lucky losers. While Marton Fucsovics may not win outright, he has a realistic chance of taking a set.
