LiontipsDjokovic vs Medvedev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Paris (November 7, 2021).
Command Analysis
Novak Djokovic hasn't looked perfect at this tournament, possibly because of the two month pause he made after the US Open final, where he lost to Medvedev. The World №1 lost two sets in Paris, but nevertheless, he made it to the final and has every chance to win the Paris Masters for the 6th time in his career.
On his way to the final, Djokovic defeated Marton Fucsovics (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), passed Gael Monfils due to his withdrawal from the tournament, and then beat Taylor Fritz (6-4, 6-3) and Hubert Hurkacz (3-6, 6-0, 7-6).
Daniil Medvedev had a more or less easy path to the final. The Russian tennis player lost only one set, to Sebastian Korda in the Round of 16 (4-6, 6-1, 6-3). All of his other matches at the Paris Masters Medvedev won in straight sets, including the semifinal against Alexander Zverev (6-2, 6-2). Medvedev also defeated Ilya Ivashka (7-5, 6-4) and Hugo Gaston (7-6, 6-4).

Tip and bets
Medvedev demonstrated perfect tennis in the semifinal match against Zverev. The Russian is in great shape and is ready for long rallies in the final. Djokovic, on the other hand, is not in his best form, and we think that Medvedev will be able to get his second win in the last two months against the Serbian tennis player.
Our prediction - Medvedev to win
This is the match between almost equal opponents. We would even say that Medvedev looks a bit more convincing at this tournament, but one should never underestimate Djokovic. We expect a close match and suggest betting on the total over.
Second bet - total over 23 games
