Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Australian Open match.
Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic has been keeping his phenomenal winning series in the Australian Open since 2019. The last time he lost a game in Melbourne was six years ago, in the round of 16. Novak has won 4 titles, with many long games happening in the beginning of the tournament. Djokovic made 49 unforced mistakes even in the match against Prižmič in the first round.
Alexei Popyrin
Alexei Popyrin beat Marc Polmans from Australia in the first round (6:3, 7:6, 6:2). Popyrin had 20 aces, winning 81% on the 1st serve, saving 3 beak points. Popyrin has reached the Round of 32 of the Australian Open on three occasions.
Novak Djokovic – Alexei Popyrin prediction
Novak Djokovic has made us to believe that he won’t win with a huge gap in the first round. This edition of the Australian Open is not an exception. The first game versus Dino Prižmič wasn’t an easy walk (6:2, 6:7, 6:3, 6:4). Can Alexei Popyrin struggle? Why not? Besides, the Australian is known for his strong first serve.
