LiontipsNovak Djokovic vs Kei Nishikori. Prediction and Betting Tips for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (July 29, 2021).
Command Analysis
Djokovic came to Tokyo for his next title. It's no secret that Novak strives to become the greatest tennis player in history. With this idea in mind, he approaches every tournament this season with great responsibility. He already won the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon in 2021. Now his eyes are fixed on the next prize: the Olympic gold.
So far, the Serb has confidently defeated all his opponents in Tokyo. Only Jan-Lennard Struff managed to put up a fight (4-6, 3-6). Hugo Dellien and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina managed to win only four games each.
Nishikori hasn't been looking his best lately. After returning to the tour, the Japanese tennis player has really lacked stability. But at the Olympics in Japan, Kei plays very differently. He is putting a lot of effort into representing the host nation, and as a result, he passed Andrei Rublev (6-3, 6-4), and then defeated Markos Giron (7-6, 3-6, 6-1) and Ilya Ivashka (7-6, 6-0). Nishikori's experience played a big role in all three of these victories.
In total, Kei played 12 matches on hard in 2021, in which he scored seven victories.
Trends
