LiontipsNovak Djokovic vs Alex Molchan. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP French Open (May 25, 2022).
Command Analysis
Novak Djokovic is the current French Open trophy holder. Last year, the Serb defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final. Djokovic started his 2022 French Open campaign with a confident win against Yosihito Nisioka (6:3, 6:0, 6:1) - the match was over in two hours.
The Serbian athlete is in excellent form. He has recently won the Masters in Rome. During the tournament, Djokovic overcame Felix Auger Aliassime(7:5, 7:6) and Casper Ruud (6:4, 6:3). In the final, he beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in two sets (6:0, 7:6).
Alex Molcan had a successful tournament in Lyon last week. He prevailed over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Karen Khachanov, Federico Coria, and Alex De Minaur, but lost in the final to Cameron Norrie (3:6, 7:6, 1:6).
Molcan defeated Federico Coria once again in the first round of the French Major. This time, the Slovak tennis player needed four sets to close his opponent (6:3, 6:4, 3:6, 6:3).
Tip and bets
Molcan looked good in recent matches, but he has been playing non-stop for two weeks and can simply be too tired to put up a fight against Djokovic. We will be backing the favorite here.
Our prediction — handicap(-8.5) to Djokovic
Molcan didn't give his best performance against Norrie and looked solid only in the second set. We don't think he can challenge the World №1 at the moment.
Second prediction — total under 31.5 games
