LiontipsDel Potro vs. Djokovic. Exhibition Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Del Potro has not played a single official match this season. Juan Martin tried to return to action, but a knee injury prevented him from doing so. The last time the Argentine took to the court in an official match was in February 2022, when he lost to Federico Delbonis in the first round of the tournament in Buenos Aires.
Professional qualities
Juan Martin del Potro was one of the most brilliant tennis players of his generation. Despite his versatility, the Argentinean especially shone on hard courts. His calling card was a powerful forehand, capable of breaking through any defense. It was thanks to this stroke that he was able to beat the legendary Roger Federer in the final of the 2009 US Open. Due to his height of 198 cm, Juan Martin had one of the strongest serves on the tour. More than 4.4 thousand aces in his career are the best proof of this.
Current indicators in the tour
Del Potro is a former world number three. During his career, the famous Argentinean has won 28 trophies, including 22 ATP titles. The most significant of them is his victory at the US Open in 2009. Then, let us recall, he beat Roger Federer in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
On open hard courts, Del Potro has won 260 matches and lost 100.
Current form
Djokovic missed the recent World Series finals, playing his last match at an exhibition in Abu Dhabi, where he beat Rafael Nadal in the third-place match.
Professional qualities
Djokovic doesn't have the spin of Rafael Nadal or the spectacular banana shots that dazzle spectators. He lacks the grace of Roger Federer. But it is Novak who has bested both men in the race to become the greatest tennis player of all time. His key to success is his unrivalled consistency. The Serb has virtually no weaknesses: his serve is not the fastest, but it is incredibly accurate and effective; he uses his forehand and two-handed backhand with virtuoso precision, controlling the course of the rally.
Current indicators in the tour
Djokovic victories this season include gold at the Olympic Games in Paris. Thus, Novak has completed his career Golden Slam. The Serbian tennis player is currently in seventh place in the world rankings.
