LiontipsNovak Djokovic vs Tallon Griekspoor. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP US Open (September 3, 2021).
Command Analysis
Djokovic took a month's break from tennis, but he is in excellent shape now, which he demonstrated in the first-round match against Holger Rune. This wasn't a difficult match for Djokovic: the Serbian tennis player had a comfortable victory. He lost one set to Rune on a tie-break, but in the other three left to chance for his opponent (6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-1). Djokovic hit 17 aces and won 8 break-points in that fixture.
Griekspoor played most of his matches on clay this year. But his stats on hard courts aren't bad: six victories against two defeats. The Dutch tennis player skipped all of the hard tournaments prior to the US Open, but that didn't stop him from getting past Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round of the Major. Griekspoor defeated the German in five sets (2-6, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5).
