LiontipsNovak Djokovic vs Frances Tiafoe. Prediction and Betting Tips for Laver Cup 2022 (September 24, 2022).
Command Analysis
Last time we saw Novak Djokovic was back in July - in the final match of the grass-court major, the Serbian athlete defeated Nick Kyrgios in four sets, claiming his 21st Grand Slam title. Djokovic missed out on the American part of the tour due to covid protocol. Earlier this season, he triumphed at the clay-court tournament in Rome, where he defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-0, 7-6) in the final.
Frances Tiafoe is having a great season. This year, for example, he reached his maiden Grand Slam semifinal - at the US Open, Tiafoe ousted Rafael Nadal and Andrey Rublev. The American has already played one match at the current Laver Cup. Together with Jack Sock, Tiafoe prevailed over Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in three sets.
Trends
Ставка1st set: total over 9.5
Tiafoe's last 5 matches had over 9 games in the first sets.
СтавкаTie-break - no

Tip and bets
Djokovic is the favorite in this pair, but his last appearance in an official match was over two months ago, so we think it will be a difficult match for him. Tiafoe has been excellent recently, he even managed to reach the US Open semifinal. The American definitely will put up a fight against Djokovic, and we believe that Tiafoe can maintain the handicap of four games.
Our prediction - handicap (+4) to Tiafoe
These athletes met last year at the Australian Open, and back then Djokovic won in four sets. He is likely to win again, but this should be a close fight, considering both opponents' form. Take the over.
Second wager - total over 20 games
