Taylor Fritz

Although the American tennis player is high in the ranking, Alcaraz and Sinner still cannot compete. Even getting into this tournament allowed Fritz to earn decent money. The athlete did not come to participate, in the quarterfinals he defeated the strong and experienced Oleksandr Zverev – 6:3, 6:4.

In the semi-finals, the athlete met the already mentioned Alcaraz, but it was not possible to put up any serious resistance here – 4:6, 2:6. Fritz is exactly that strong middle-aged man who managed to catch up with the top players, but has not yet reached their level. For the American, Djokovic is one of the most uncomfortable opponents in his career.

Novak Djokovic

Nole has been playing selectively for a couple of seasons now, his form and age do not allow him to endure the entire tour. The Serb played in all majors of the year, stopping in the semifinals everywhere. If we talk about the Six Kings Slam, like last year, the athlete will play in the match for the third place, then he defeated Nadal.

Here, Djokovic started the fight immediately from the semifinals, where he lost to Yannik Sinner in two sets – 4:6, 2:6. The dreams of winning 25 helmets do not leave Novak’s head, but when there is Alcaraz and the aforementioned Italian, it is incredibly difficult, although the Serb did win the Olympics last year. Retirement is inexorably approaching as long as the Serb is able to fight at a high level.

Personal meetings

The head-to-head statistics are disastrous for the American, because Djokovic leads with a score of 11:0.

Forecast

Despite the fact that Fritz has never beaten the Serb, the bookies do not distinguish the favorite of this pair. I think that Djokovic has more chances of success because of his psychological advantage.

The American has a chance to wet the score of face-to-face confrontations, even though the match is not official. The fact that this is a meeting for the third place only confirms that the tournament is an exhibition, because you can see this in tennis only at the Olympics.

I will stop at the option with a clear victory of “Nole” for 1.87, although ideally, it is better to bet live here.
