LiontipsDjokovic vs Fucsovics. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Paris (November 2, 2021).
Command Analysis
Novak Djokovic last appeared on court in an official match in the middle of September. After losing to Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final (4-6, 4-6, 4-6), the Serbian tennis player took a break, and it is hard to say anything about his current form.
The Masters in Paris is one of Djokovic's favourite tournaments. He won it five times - in 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2019.
Marton Fucsovics has already played one match at this tournament. In the first round, he outplayed Fabio Fognini in three sets (6-1, 6-7, 7-6). It is worth mentioning, that Fucsovics has been demonstrating solid play recently. For instance, he reached the quarterfinal stage of the European Open in Antwerp. In Paris, the Hungarian tennis player has only ever gotten to the second round.

Tip and bets
Djokovic didn't make any appearances since September, and we believe that the lack of playing practice will show tonight. Fucsovics has already gotten a feel of the local courts, and surely will be able to put up a good fight. We don't think that Djokovic will win with a big margin.
Our prediction - total over 19 games
We haven't seen the World №1 on court for 1,5 months, and it is difficult to judge his form. We don't believe that Djokovic will crush his opponent in his first match at the Paris Masters.
Second prediction - handicap (+5.5) games to Fucsovics
